TV Stream Now New Tab

The TV Stream Now New Tab software is packed as a browser extension that has versions for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. The TV Stream Now New Tab browser extension is developed by APN, LLC. (Ask Partner Network) and distributed by Plasko LLC. a.k.a. Plasko Interactive Ltd. The TV Stream Now New Tab is an ad-supported product that is powered by a custom version of the MyWay search provider. The TV Stream Now New Tab extension can be found on www.gettvstreamnow[.]com/lp2/ where it is said to grant full access to an extensive television and movies catalog. The site www.gettvstreamnow[.]com/lp2/ may lead users to think that the TV Stream Now New Tab offers services similar to Netflix and Hulu, which may have been the goal of APN, LLC.

However, the TV Stream Now New Tab extension does nothing of the sort. The exclusive content promoted on www.gettvstreamnow[.]com/lp2/ are resources extracted from themoviedb.org and presented in a catalog on your new tab. As its name suggests, the TV Stream Now New Tab extension may modify the layout of your new tab page to enable access to more features than the default new tab page in Chrome and Firefox provide. When you proceed to install the TV Stream Now New Tab extension you might notice a dialog box that invites you to grant TV Stream Now New Tab the following rights:

• Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
• Read and change your browsing history.
• Manage your downloads.
• Manage your apps, extensions and themes.

You should note that the new tab powered by TV Stream Now includes a search by MyWay, which would redirect you to Search.mysearch.com when you click on the magnifying glass icon. Additionally, the TV Stream Now extension may redirect users to the page on the following address:

The page mentioned above is used to host a promotional offer for the MySearch DS-1 software by APN, LLC. The MySearch DS-1 software is a renamed version of the My Way Search Assistant that is recognized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by cyber security authorities. If you choose to add the MySearch DS-1 app to your Internet client a pop-up window would appear and invite you to grant the following privileges to MySearch DS-1:

• Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
• Read and change your browsing history.
• Change your search settings to search.mysearch.com.
• Manage your downloads.
• Manage your apps, extensions and themes.

Don't forget that both TV Stream Now and MySearch DS-1 are ad-supported products and you should not be surprised to see targeted advertisements on your new tab page. Your primary search provider may be changed to Search.mysearch.com, and you will find search suggestions by MyWay in the Omnibox of Chrome and the search bar of Firefox. The media and information presented on your new tab by the TV Stream Now are contents that you can find at Themoviedb.org. Themoviedb.org does not endorse the TV Stream Now and the MySearch DS-1 browser extensions. The search engine at Search.mysearch.com does not support encrypted connections and may include links to unreliable pages. Web surfers that are not comfortable with using the TV Stream Now New extension can remove it with help from a credible anti-spyware instrument.
