How to remove Streambeesearch.com

Streambeesearch.com is a search-redirecting website. All it does is take your search query and send it off to Yahoo or another site. If it’s interfering with your searches, then you must have Stream Bee Search installed as an extension. Extensions are little add-ons that change your web browser. Their removal instructions can be found below.

Remove Stream Bee Search manually or with an antivirus tool, like Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, or another security program. Not just Stream Bee Search – look at all of your extensions. If you find any suspicious add-ons, remove them, too.

If your browser is “managed by an organization” and Stream Bee Search (or some other extensions) can’t be removed normally, you will need to manage your settings as described in the “Installed by enterprise policy” post. Removing extensions like that is a little more complicated, but completely doable.

Finally, block notifications from Streambeesearch.com, Notify-service.com, Stream-all.com, and other sites. Here’s how to open the relevant settings:

• Chrome – type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Edge (Chromium) – type “edge://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.

How does Streambeesearch.com work?

It shows ads and collects user data

Streambeesearch.com advertises a browser extension – Stream Bee Search. This extension is a simple add-on that changes a couple of settings in your web browser. Mainly, it sets Feed.streambeesearch.com as the new default search engine.

Normally, browser add-ons provide some sort of useful service, like a video downloader or an ad blocker. Stream Bee Search, though, is nothing but an advertising extension – adware.

In addition to intercepting and redirecting your search queries to an unexpected website, Streambeesearch.com collects your search logs, browsing history, and technical data about your device. This data is used for advertising, as described by Streambeesearch.com’s privacy policy.

It is installed as a browser extension

Streambeesearch.com is advertised online by various streaming and file download sites:

• By monetized URL shorteners (similar to Bitfly.io).
• By file download sites and torrenting sites.
• By “free” video streaming sites (sports, movies, TV shows, etc.).

Streambeesearch.com promotes the Stream Bee Search extension and it makes it look like some kind of a mandatory installation or tries to slip it in a fake download link (Deceptive installation tactics). It does not present Stream Bee Search very honestly. No wonder – if you read Stream Bee Search’s description, it just says that this is an extension that gives you access to web search – something that we all have without needing any extensions or browser add-ons.

Here is an example of an ad for a browser extension that takes over your search settings:

In a way, this ad is somewhat clear about what the advertised extension does: restrict your browser’s settings to force you to use a particular search engine. This type of ad appears after clicking a download link or trying to play a video. If you don’t read the fine print (and really, who does?), you could end up installing it by accident.

Remember – you are never required to install an extension to use a website. Some sites show deceptive ads, but you are free to ignore them. These are ads, nothing more.
