Do you know what TVStreamNow Toolbar is?
You should always inspect programs found on the web twice before clicking the Download button so that you would not regret installing them. TVStreamNow Toolbar is one of those applications users usually have second thoughts about. Even though this piece of software promises to enable users to find TV shows and movies easily and stream them for free straight from their web browsers, many users soon remove it from their computers. Most likely, it is simply because users expect that its modus operandi will not limit to setting a new page as a New Tab URL on their web browsers. If you belong to the group of users who have not found TVStreamNow Toolbar very useful, or you simply feel that it has been installed on your computer without your knowledge, you can delete this potentially unwanted program manually. You do not need to have any special knowledge about the removal of potentially unwanted applications because its removal is very simple. Our manual removal guide will lead you through the entire removal procedure too. Continue reading if you need more information about TVStreamNow Toolbar before eliminating it from the system. You will get more knowledge about it, from its modus operandi to its distribution, if you read the report until the very end.
TVStreamNow Toolbar is, in fact, a very simple application. Once it is installed by the user on the system, it immediately changes the default New Tab page. Also, it is set to load automatically on browser startup. Sadly, this is all what TVStreamNow Toolbar does on users’ computers. Of course, we cannot say that the page it sets is completely useless. In fact, it looks like a reliable search provider at first glance. It not only works as a search tool, i.e. returns search results for users who enter any search query, but it also enables users to open popular websites with the click of a button. To be more specific, users can access Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Amazon, Booking, and some other websites. Also, three other buttons the page set by TVStreamNow Toolbar contains enable users to access a list of popular TV shows, movies, and favorites. Users can play selected episodes and movies, and, on top of that, they can easily access links that open top paid streaming services. This may sound quite useful, but before you click the Download button, ask yourself whether you are ready to find your New Tab page changed and encounter a new website set by the newly-installed browser plugin every time you launch your web browser. Last but not least, once TVStreamNow Toolbar is installed, it starts collecting information about users, which means that it will know everything about your search queries, websites you visit, and some details about your computer. This is not something really dangerous, but we would not let a potentially unwanted application gather data automatically. Yes, potentially unwanted software is not malware, but do not forget that there is a reason it has been put under this category.

In non-techie terms:
It would be a lie if we described TVStreamNow Toolbar as a malicious application because it is not. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm that it is useful and 100% trustworthy piece of software either. If you ever install it on your system, or it somehow gets installed on your PC without your knowledge, your New Tab page will be altered. As a consequence, you will see a new page open. A bunch of users decide not to install TVStreamNow Toolbar when they find out that it alters browsers’ settings, but we leave the final decision in your hands.
