APN, LLC. is who governs the search service at h[tt]ps://www.mysearch[.]com and will attempt to lure users who have installed StreamFrenzy to make MySearch.com their primary search aggregator. The page on Searchallweb.com invites users to install the MySearch DS-1 extension from APN, LLC., and complete the transition from the Google services to search by MySearch.com. The same behavior was observed during the tests performed on the 'Screen Watch Now' and the TV Stream Now New Tab. The StreamFrenzy New Tab (h[tt]p://hp.mysearch[.]com/STF-VCN/b2bms/index.html) includes links to Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, YouTube, Gmail, H&R Block and Twitter. You will find a button called 'Stream music now' in the top-right corner of the StreamFrenzy New Tab that loads h[tt]p://radio.live-streaming[.]online where you can listen to music.
Radio.live-streaming[.]online allows visitors to play music streamed from TargetSpot (h[tt]ps://www.targetspot[.]com) that generates advertisements based on your music preferences. You may be shown music lyrics at Radio.live-streaming[.]online that are pulled from Directlyrics[.]com. News on music videos are presented at Radio.live-streaming[.]online via widgets that download materials from Gagadaily[.]com. StreamFrenzy is recorded to use tracking cookies and Web beacons from companies like AppNexus (h[tt]ps://www.appnexus[.]com).

StreamFrenzy is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may be listed in Google Chrome as 'StreamFrenzy.com New Tab' and perform unwelcomed browser redirects. PC users who do not like to be tracked across non-affiliated pages by APN, LLC. and partners should consider StreamFrenzy for removal.
