Stream-It

Stream-It is an ad-supported Web browser extension that may be compatible with Google Chrome only. Users who opt to install the Stream-It software may authorize it to inject marketing content in the sites they visit, as well as change their Web browser's homepage, search engine, and new tab page unknowingly. The changes that Stream-it forces aren't threatening, but they may redirect users to a low-quality search engine found at hxxp://stream-it.online. The search engine features a simple search field that provides users with two choices – search for songs or the Web. This Web search doesn't use a custom search algorithm and, instead, it redirects users to the Yahoo search engine.

The Stream-It extension is meant to be a convenient tool that allows users to listen to radio stations directly through their Web browser. This browser extension works as expected and its installation does allow users to listen to online radios. However, its installation also may bring a broad range of banners, pop-ups, in-text ads, and other marketing content to all active Google Chrome windows. The advertising techniques utilized by the Stream-It browser extension may impair the Web browser's performance and disrupt the user's Web browsing experience severely.

Because of Stream-It's dubious distribution methods, many users might accept to install this extension unknowingly. This may lead to confusing changes such as the appearance of the Stream-it.online homepage, as well as the ads that Stream-It displays whenever the Web browser is used. If your browser displays ads and shows you Stream-it.online instead of your usual homepage, then you should use an anti-malware scanner to eliminate the Stream-It extension and restore your Web browser's regular behavior.
