What is Your Television Now Pro?
Your Television Now Pro is one of many potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). In this case, it promotes a fake search engine (search.hyourtelevisionnowpro.com) by making changes to browser settings. This is a browser hijacker, however, it is advertised as an app that allows users to access various TV streaming web pages. Typically, PUAs also record data.
Browser hijackers can be installed on browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
People who have Your Television Now Pro installed on their systems are forced to visit search.hyourtelevisionnowpro.com when they open the browser, new tab, or enter a search query into the URL bar - this app assigns the address as the default search engine, homepage, and new tab URL.
To undo these changes, users must uninstall the app that made the changes in the first place. Most browser hijackers prevent users from reverting settings as long as they are installed. Note that search.hyourtelevisionnowpro.com (fake search engine) displays results generated by Yahoo - when a search entry is entered into its search field, it redirects users to search.yahoo.com.
Therefore, search.hyourtelevisionnowpro.com generates no unique results, thus rendering it useless. Furthermore, browser hijackers are often collect data such as IP addresses, geolocations, URLs of pages visited, search queries entered into search engines, and so on.
Typically, people behind PUAs share this data with third parties (possibly cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. In some cases, PUAs also target sensitive/private details. This can lead to problems with Internet browsing safety, online privacy, and so on. Therefore, all browser hijackers should be uninstalled immediately.

There are various browser hijackers online, however, most promote fake, dubious search engines by changing browser settings and collecting information relating to users' browsing habits. Some examples of other apps of this type include Easy Photo Edit, Get Maps And Directions, and Login To My Email.
Developers present these apps as supposedly capable of delivering 'useful features' or other value. In fact, they are simply used to trick people into installing useless software that helps them to generate revenue.
How did Your Television Now Pro install on my computer?
People often download and install applications such as Your Television Now Pro accidentally. This usually happens during download and installation of other software: when PUAs are bundled into the setups. Typically, information about additional apps (PUAs) is not presented properly and hidden in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings of the software setup.
It is possible to avoid these unwanted downloads and installations, however, many people leave settings within the setups unchanged, thereby inadvertently granting permission for PUAs to be downloaded/installed.
Additionally, these apps can be downloaded and installed through deceptive ads: when clicked, some ads execute scripts that start the download or installation process of PUAs.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Do not download programs/files from unofficial pages, torrent clients, eMule, or other Peer-to-Peer networks, using third party downloaders, and so on. The safest way to achieve this is to use official web pages and direct download links. Check all settings ("Custom", "Advanced", and so on) that are available in the download and installation set-ups.
Dismiss any offers to download or install bundled applications. Do not click ads that are displayed on untrustworthy websites relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and others. These might open dubious pages or start download/installation of potentially unwanted applications.
If the default browser causes unwanted redirects or displays ads, check the list of installed extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons, and remove all unwanted entries.
The same applies to programs of this type that are installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with Your Television Now Pro, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this browser hijacker.
