How Haccesstvstreaming.com takes over browsers

Adware

Haccesstvstreaming.com is a new tab page that can appear in your browser after the Access TV Streaming extension is installed. Access TV Streaming can be downloaded off of Accesstvstreaming.com and it controls which site appears in your browser when you open a new tab page.

You can open a new tab in your browser by clicking the plus ‘+’ button at the very top of the browser window. This page serves as your browser’s lobby and can be used to show your most visited websites. Because it’s so important, it’s valuable for malicious browser extensions to hijack.

Haccesstvstreaming.com is basically adware. It has a search box in the middle of the page that leads to Yahoo.com (Yahoo redirects are very common among browser hijackers) and it has links to a few clickbait sites that belong to the same company that made Access TV Streaming. This means that the more browsers Haccesstvstreaming.com has hijacked, the more money its creator makes.

The creator being Eightpoint Technologies, the same company that made Your Streaming TV Now, Easy Television Access, TV Streaming Online, and many many other browser extensions – all of which also try to hijack your searches and get you to visit clickbait sites while failing to offer any useful functionality.

Dishonest advertising

Access TV Streaming is advertised online as something that can get you quick access to TV streaming sites. It uses blubs like “Free streaming” and “Live sports”, but only in small print does it add that “some services may require account or subscription”.

So, Accesstvstreaming.com gets discovered by people who are looking for a way to watch some free movies and TV shows. It’s advertised on various adware sites and alternative search engines (which means that your browser might have already been hijacked before Haccesstvstreaming.com showed up) and in the descriptions of deceptive Youtube videos. Accesstvstreaming.com can also come up as a result when searching for various streaming services. It can also be found by following links under youtube videos that promise a free movie.

Haccesstvstreaming.com doesn’t actually help you watch any online television. It does have a nested menu in which you can find some twenty links to various legitimate online streaming services. Many of them require registration and are subscription-based. And they have nothing to do with the Access TV Streaming extension. You do not need Haccesstvstreaming.com to access those sites. Access TV Streaming is very useless.

On top of that, it often brings additional unwanted adware to your computer. Sometimes Access TV Streaming gets installed together with Hidemyhistory and/or Mysearchfinder, which are also browser hijackers, albeit a little different from Haccesstvstreaming.com. Instead of replacing your new tab page, those apps replace your browser’s search engine settings.

Here are some features that browser hijackers might have:

• permission to read your browsing history,
• changing your new tab page settings,
• changing your search settings,
• reading and changing your data on all or some sites,
• no or very few reviews and ratings despite having thousands of users (Access TV Streaming has over thirty thousand users).
