Remove GetStreamSearch

GetStreamSearch is an annoying Windows application, which usually shows up in the list of browser extensions. Users might see ads for GetStreamSearch while they are searching for free ways to watch streams, TV, and movies online. However, installing GetStreamSearch does not provide users with such features. Instead, it modifies their browser so that it redirects them to low-quality websites on a regular basis. This particular Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) will set the browser's new tab to Portal.getstreamsearch.com. It may also replace the default search aggregator with Feed.getstreamsearch.com. While these changes cause no harm, they will hinder your Web browsing and searching experience. The websites that this PUP promotes do not deliver reliable results, and they may often prioritize ads and sponsored results.

The installation of this add-on does not always occur because the user intentionally downloads this app. In some cases, it may come through fake downloads or software bundles. You should be more careful while browsing the Web, and remember to only download files from trustworthy sources.

Remove GetStreamSearch via Security Software

Fixing the Portal.getstreamsearch.com redirect may not be that simple. Trying to fix your browser settings manually usually yields no results. This is because GetStreamSearch will keep modifying your browser configuration for as long as it is present on your computer. This is why your first step towards fixing the problem should be to ensure the full removal of this intruder.

The best way to dispose of Windows PUPs like this is to run an up-to-date antivirus scanner. It will perform a full system scan, easily identify GetStreamSearch's files and components, and then remove them. Once you scan and clean your device, you should proceed to restore your browser settings manually.
