Your Streaming TV Now - How to remove

Your Streaming TV Now, or Yourstreamingtvnowtab.com, is supposed to help you access the online streaming of movies and television, but falls flat. It is a browser add-on: it changes how your browser works by changing your new tab page and your web search. While it’s installed, Your Streaming TV Now shows you pop-up ads and changes your search results to Yahoo. But its streaming features are so minimal that they may as well not exist.

Your Streaming TV Now has some problems and should not remain installed:

Infection symptoms	Your browser’s homepage is now Yourstreamingtvnowtab.com, web search results return in Yahoo.com or Hidemysearches.com, ads appear on your new tab page.
Causes of the hijacking	You browsing habits are used for advertising, you have to deal with more ads, you can’t customize your new tab page.
Distribution and installation of Your Streaming TV Now	Advertised as a way to stream television for free.
How to remove Your Streaming TV Now	Use antivirus programs (Combo Cleaner for Mac OS, SpyHunter for Windows) to find and remove malware, manually uninstall all suspicious extensions installed at the same time as Your Streaming TV Now.

How to remove Your Streaming TV Now

It’s easy to remove Your Streaming TV Now from your browser by just uninstalling it manually – the instructions for each browser are in the last section of this article. Alternatively, you could use antivirus programs to scan your computer for malware. A lot of them do recognize browser hijackers of this type as malicious, and they would help you find if any more malware has infected your device. Combo Cleaner  for Mac, SpyHunter for PC, or any other competent anti-malware tool would do well.

Getting rid of Your Streaming TV Now will free your browser and restore your previous new tab page. It will also stop the search bar from going to Yahoo. If it doesn’t, open your browser’s settings and change the default search engine and homepage. If that still doesn’t work, there are probably more bad browser extensions that you need to remove. For example, the same company that created Yourstreamingtvnowtab.com is also responsible for Email Helper App, Hide My Searches, Watch TV Online Tab, and others.

What about free online streaming? That’s what people install Your Streaming TV Now for, after all. Well, there is no simple solution. There are multiple streaming services that have exclusive rights to certain content. You might be able to access it for free on the television channel’s main website. Or you might be required to register and pay a monthly subscription fee – though many of those sites offer a free trial.

You may be tempted to pirate the shows and movies you want to watch – to torrent them or go to free streaming sites. But these are not just illegal, they’re also full of malware and dangerous ads. Illegal and controversial websites often allow malicious ads, which puts their users in danger of being scammed and taken advantage of. Even seasoned pirates catch dangerous infections, such as the Djvu ransomware, which spreads with software cracks. So, be very careful and stick to legal sites when possible if you want to be safe online.

What is Yourstreamingtvnowtab.com

Your Streaming TV Now is an ad-supported browser extension by Eightpoint (also known as Polarity). It is presented as a way to watch online television for free, but does nothing close to it. Instead, Yourstreamingtvnowtab.com just hijacks your browser, collects data about your browsing habits, and uses it to show you personalized ads.

As for television streaming, Your Streaming TV Now provides a small list of links to websites that offer paid or free video streaming. It’s literally just a list of links.

Browser extensions are little programs that get attached to your web browser (the program that you use to browse the web) and change slightly how it works. For example, one popular browser extension type are ad-blockers – extensions that stop ads from showing on websites. So, browser extensions can be pretty powerful.

Your Streaming TV Now is powerfull too, as it can replace your new tab page, your homepage, and read your browsing history. It can also read what you search for online using the Yourstreamingtvnowtab.com page. what that page looks like is under the control of the extension. There are ads being shown on the new tab page and the search bar leads to Search.yahoo.com.

How Your Streaming TV Now got installed

On the Chrome web store, Your Streaming TV Now is not reviewed well. Users complain that they can’t access their television shows after installing os and that the had to deal with pop-up ads.

The problem here is that though Your Streaming TV Now is mostly useless, it is advertised like it’s a service. For example:

Watch Free TV Online
Watch Free on your Computer
Access to TV Shows, Movies, Sporting Events and More!

That text is on the Watchtvlive.co site. Watchtvlive.co is mostly found by people searching for television channels online. People are given the impression that Yourstreamingtvnowtab.com will let them access online television in their browser, for free. But they are being deceived. Watchtvlive.co tells them to install Your Streaming TV Now, but does that help anyone watch free television on their computer? Not at all. It just installs Yourstreamingtvnowtab.com and takes over their browser. This behavior is an example of deceptive installation tactics.
