Since we usually deal with such intruders every single day, we know by now that the likes of Access TV Streaming have an official website. The homepage for this program can be accessed via accesstvstreaming.com. With that, we cannot say that Access TV Streaming is a malicious infection.

So, how do users end up adding Access TV Streaming to their browsers even when they don’t want it? That depends on the network of distribution. Although the application has the official website, and it can also be found on the Chrome Web Store, such extension usually come bundled with freeware or through various pop-ups and redirects. For instance, if you frequent websites that indulge in third-party advertising, they must display a lot of flash ads, and clicking anywhere on such sites should launch redirect windows and other pop-ups, too.

In their haste to close those pop-up windows, users might click on notifications that suggest adding Access TV Streaming to the browser, and users could add the extension without reading the notification properly. Their main concern is to close the annoying pop-up. Truth be told, adding the extension to the browser closes the pop-up, but it also means users add the app themselves, and thus, it is impossible to say that Access TV Streaming is a browser hijacker or an immediate system security threat. After all, it’s there because it was allowed to be there.

What kind of modifications this extension performs? Well, it is actually pointed out in the notification you can see right before adding the extension to your browser. It says that requires permission to:

  • Replace the page you see when opening a new tab

  • Read your browsing history

If you were to pay more attention to the notification, you would know that Access TV Streaming changes your new tab settings. Each time you open a new tab, you get automatically redirected to query.haccesstvstreaming.com. It also looks like the extension can provide you with a new search engine, but running a simple search query through the given website would show you at once that Access TV Streaming employs Yahoo! Search. Of course, Yahoo! Search is not part of this thing, and it’s only being used by the extension because it needs to somehow live up to its promises.

Nevertheless, that shouldn’t be the reason to keep this app on your system. Not to mention that it can hardly give you links to the best streaming websites. After all, why would you need a third-party app to look for the sites, when you can do it yourself through a search engine of your choice?
