Streamingsearch.xyz
Summary
The streamingsearch.xyz address belongs to a fake search engine that is being promoted via a browser hijacker application. Typically, they modify the homepage, new tab page, and the default search engine and set them to open the promoted address, streamingsearch.xyz in this case. Users may not have even realized that such an application has managed to invade their system until the consequences of its functionality become visible. The explanation is quite simple - browser hijackers, adware, and other PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) are all distributed via deceptive tactics such as bundling and fake installers/updates. In addition, they also might transmit numerous device details (IP address, geolocation, ISP) and, in the most severe cases, even payment details if such information has been saved in the affected Web browser.
