Feed.stream-all.com Redirect

What is feed.stream-all.com?

As with most fake search engines, feed.stream-all.com is promoted using a browser hijacker, in this case a potentially unwanted app (PUA) called StreamAll (updated variant is titled Stream All).

This application supposedly allows users to access the latest TV-related content directly from their web browsers, however, PUAs are often installed inadvertently. Furthermore, StreamAll changes browser settings and tracks browsing-related data.

StreamAll and other PUAs usually target browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Immediately after installation, this app assigns feed.stream-all.com as the default homepage, search engine, and new tab URL. It also ensures that these settings cannot be reverted by reassigning them when attempts are made to change them.

Therefore, users who have StreamAll installed are forced to visit feed.stream-all.com when they open an infiltrated browser/new browser tab or search via the URL bar. Continual redirects to this website can affect the overall browsing experience.

Note that the feed.stream-all.com search engine is useless, since it provides search results generated by search.yahoo.com (Yahoo search engine). Therefore, if a search query is entered, it redirects to search.yahoo.com. Another downside of using this fake search engine and the StreamAll browser hijacker is information tracking.

They record IP addresses, search queries, URLs of visited websites, geo-locations, other browsing related data, and also personal data. The information is shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse private details to generate revenue.

Thus, using feed.stream-all.com and StreamAll can lead to privacy or browsing safety issues. Some users might even become victims of identity theft.

There are many similar browser-hijacking apps (and fake search engines). Some examples include mixSportTV Search Plus, iGames Search, and MovieCharm. Typically, developers promote them as tools capable of providing useful features (e.g. easy access to TV-related content).

These are merely attempts to trick people into downloading/installing and using PUAs. They often deliver none of the functionality promised - PUAs and search engines simply generate revenue for their developers and cause various problems.

How did StreamAll install on my computer?

StreamAll can be downloaded from its official website, however, PUAs are often installed inadvertently without users' consent. This usually happens when users click intrusive ads designed to run scripts that download/install PUAs. More commonly, users are tricked into downloading and installing PUAs when software developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling".

Bundling is used to trick users into installing unwanted applications together with other software. Typically, these apps are hidden in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar parts of the download/installation set-ups. In summary, information regarding the presence of bundled PUAs is not properly disclosed.

Nevertheless, these installations happen only if users skip steps of the download/installation procedures and leave settings unchanged.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Do not use third party software downloaders/installers. The safest way to download software is using official (and trustworthy) websites. Handle download and installation procedures with care. Check "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings of the download/installation setups, deselect all additionally-included apps, and only then finish the process.

Furthermore, avoid clicking intrusive advertisements. They may seem legitimate, but many untrustworthy and deceptive ads redirect users to dubious websites such as gambling, pornography, adult dating, and so on. If you encounter these redirects, check installed extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons on your browser and programs on your computer.

Uninstall/remove any unwanted, unknown or suspicious entries immediately. If your computer is already infected with StreamAll, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this browser hijacker.
