Home.radiostreambutler.com virus - How to remove

Home.radiostreambutler.com (a.k.a Radio Stream Butler) virus belongs to a very specific group of malware called browser hijackers. These parasites occupy browsers’ preferences, like home pages, default search providers, new tab pages and force users to utilize an unknown platform for searching.

The latter Google Chrome extension is advertised as a tool, helping users watch their favorite sports and access different radio stations via Today.radiostreambutler.com. Infection is mostly active in United States, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Tunisia and Morocco. There is a bunch of deceptive extensions that claim to be providers of easy access to radio services: MyRadioAccess and Mobius Radio.

Home.radiostreambutler.com browser hijacker is not a reliable search platform

Other browser hijackers like Searchprivacy.co and Searchencrypt.com virus initiate referrals to Home.radiostreambutler.com virus. This malware will not present results to search queries on its own domain, but will show them in Search.yahoo.com page. Nevertheless, people should not assume that these results will be free of sponsored links (HubPages).

Browser hijackers have tendencies to insert links, belonging to their affiliates. Our investigation proved that this search platform is paid for certain searches. This means that some people will send financial support for owners of this search platform in exchange of a little boost in the list of results to search queries (Quora).

Like many owners of browser hijackers, authors of Home.radiostreambutler.com redirect virus also aim to conceal their true identity. If clients would like to contact them, they can do this via a specific email address for support. Additionally, domains like Searchincognito.com and Myprivatesearch.com have been recently noticed to redirect people to this radio-themed engine as well.

For some bizarre way, Radio Stream Butler Chrome extension indicated that people are going to have Search.radiostreambutler.com website as their new default search and new tab page. An even more weird thing is that this URL leads to Search.tagadin.com browser hijacker. However, after the latter tool is allowed to be active in Google Chrome, Home.radiostreambutler.com rogue search platform will be presented as the new preference.

We should also address the permissions that the extension is going to be requesting to have. As soon as Home.radiostreambutler.com virus will be active and assigned as browsers’ preferences, this suspicious tool will be in control of many important settings. First of all, it will be allowed to access and change your browsing history, together with the content of visited domains.

Also, it will be able to interact with certain websites, control other installed programs, add-ons and themes. This combination of permissions should not be given to an unknown browser extension as it can cause severe privacy and security issues. Having your online activities monitored and possibly tampered with could lead to unfortunate consequences. Dangerous promotional content from unknown sources could be included. For instance, you could be exposed to technical support scams like “Microsoft Error: Unknown System Failure” or deceptive notifications like Copybinary.me pop-up.

How should users stay malware-free?
