What is Allradiosearch.com

Allradiosearch.com is a search hijacker, a malicious site. It logs the search queries it receives along with the ID of each person typing in the queries. Then it opens another site, usually Yahoo.

Allradiosearch.com gets your search queries, it sees which search results you opened, which ads you clicked, what sites you visited, and it gets some technical data about your setup. Allradiosearch.com may use all this data to advertise to you. It could also sell this data, as many browser extensions do.

If, when you search the internet with your web browser, Feed.allradiosearch.com opens, that means that your browser got infected with AllRadioSearch. When AllRadioSearch is installed, here’s what it can do:

• Change your default search engine to Allradiosearch.com. It usually opens Yahoo.
• Read your browsing history. This allows Allradiosearch.com to open and close tabs in your browser, as well as read what sites you’re on.
• Read all your data while on Allradiosearch.com, which includes your search terms.

It’s a browser add-on that connects your browser with Allradiosearch.com. It does this by locking down the default search engine setting. Now, Allradiosearch.com is the default search engine. And you can’t change that without removing AllRadioSearch. Meanwhile, it can decide which site should deliver your search results.

On top of all that, Allradiosearch.com may set itself to send notifications to your browser. This means that pop-ups from Allradiosearch.com can appear on your screen while your browser is open.

How Allradiosearch.com spreads

AllRadioSearch can be installed on the Chrome Web Store and the stores of the other browsers. But with Allradiosearch.com having, well, no useful features whatsoever (the “Radio Search” in its name genuinely means nothing), people have to be tricked into installing Allradiosearch.com.

Here are some of the ways that Allradiosearch.com may be installed:

• Bundled with a free program. Installed as an optional offer.
• Advertised online. The ads look like download pages, allowing them to trick people.
• Advertised by other adware apps in chains of installations. Users think they’re being asked to install one extension, but they’re actually installing multiple extensions.

Be careful when you download programs. Only use reputable sites to download them. Because some install malware for you or trick you into downloading malware. Apps like Allradiosearch.com barely count as malware. Some much worse items can be bundled with bundlers.

Ads by Allradiosearch.com and its siblings, such as Install.notify-service.com and Anygamesearch.com, look like pages for downloading or installing something. They are advertised on file download sites, modding sites, and free video streaming sites. You can imagine how this would result in misunderstandings. You click on a Watch or Download button, then Allradiosearch.com shows up saying “Download Ready” and the next thing you know, AllRadioSearch is installed and your browser is opening Yahoo.

Here’s an example of a misleading advertisement:

Sometimes, you finish installing one hijacker only for it to open the installation page of another. One that implies that you’re not yet finished. So, you install something again. If you’re not careful, you may accidentally install a few hijackers.

How to remove Allradiosearch.com

When you’re uninstalling browser extensions, as described below this section, check all of them and remove or disable (the switch button) all those that you’re not using or that are even a little suspicious. Remember – many browser extensions are commercial products and they need to make money. Do you know how they do that? Are you comfortable with their privacy policies?

After removing AllRadioSearch, your search engine and other settings should go back to normal. But if they don’t, the instructions below also describe how you can fix them.

It’s advisable to also scan your computer with an anti-malware program, like Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others.

Next, notifications. If Allradiosearch.com shows pop-ups on your screen, here’s how to get rid of them:

• Go to your browser’s notification settings:
• • Chrome – type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
  • Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
  • 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.
• Find Allradiosearch.com. Click the button next to it.
• Select Block.

Don’t click the Allow button when sites ask you to – unless you want them to send notifications to your browser.
