StreamingTime

The StreamingTime extension may appear in your Web browser after installing a free application bundle or another browser extension that includes a redirect to the StreamingTime extension page. The StreamingTime browser extension from h[tt]ps://streaming-time[.]com is published through the Linkury (www.linkury.com) monetization platform, and PC users should expect to see targeted commercials on their screens. This company has been associated with riskware like Safe Finder, Any Search Manager and MemeTab in the past. The applications deployed via Linkury are known to collect Internet usage data from users like download history, Internet history, installed extensions, unencrypted data exchanged with online services and saved bookmarks for marketing purposes.

PC users concerned with their privacy may wish to avoid using the StreamingTime browser extension. The StreamingTime software may offer access to a limited number of online radio stations and welcome users to explore the Web via their integrated search engine from feed.streaming-time.com. However, the search portal at feed.streaming-time.com is a redirect-gateway to search.yahoo.com, and you may experience pop-up windows from streaming-time.com. The StreamingTime program is perceived to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP/riskware) that causes redirects to Yahoo and collects an uncomfortable amount of non-personally identifiable data about the users. The data collected by Linkury via StreamingTime might point to whoever is using the browser, and the data can be cross-referenced with advertising IDs from partners to make sure you are presented with personalized commercials across various Web sites. You can clean cookies from StreamingTime and related sites by using a respected anti-spyware scanner.
