The SearchandStreamTV software that you can find on Searchandstreamtv.com may be found under the 'Advanced' and 'Custom' option of many free software installers on the Internet. The SearchandStreamTV New Tab extension is a re-branded version of the StreamingWhereTV adware and offers the same functionality that includes links to news, pages, and content from networks like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Videos. The SearchandStreamTV adware may make alterations to the core configurations of browsers based on the Chromium project like Google Chrome, SRWare Iron, and Yandex Browser to obtain control of functions like the right-click search option and design of the video player. Also, the SearchandStreamTV adware may change your default search provider to Search.searchandstreamtv.com and show instant search results when you start typing in the address bar.

The SearchandStreamTV adware is very similar to other video-related adware like Reelzhot and CinaBlitz and may modify the appearance and controls of the YouTube player to introduce sponsored links on your screen while you are playing videos on full-screen mode. Also, the SearchandStreamTV adware may record your input on video-sharing platforms and social media like Facebook to generate tailor-suited ads. The ads by SearchandStreamTV may be presented to you via pop-up and pop-under windows. Security analysts note that the ads by SearchandStreamTV may feature links to suspicious pages and disturbing motion picture materials to incite users to purchase products from sponsors. The SearchandStreamTV adware may welcome users to provide their phone number and email address to receive updates on their favorite TV shows and broadcasts, but that may cost you up to $100 at the end of the month. The SearchandStreamTV adware may have installed its files in the AppData folder to hide its presence and users may require the assistance of a trustworthy anti-malware tool to clean their systems.
