Consequently, users are not able to go back to their preferred browsers and are redirected to visit search.hyourstreamingradionow.com when they open a new browser tab or search via the URL bar. These redirects significantly diminish users' Internet browsing experience. Easystreamingnowis primarily used to build up traffic for search.hyourstreamingradionow.com. Another downside is information tracking. Easystreamingnow records various data that typically includes personal details. Collected information is later passed on to third parties (potentially, cybercriminals) who generate revenue by misusing personal information. Hence the presence of a data-tracking app might lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. Besides, some browser-hijacking applications perform various unwanted tasks (for example, mining cryptocurrency) in the background. By misusing system resources without permission, PUPs significantly diminish overall system performance. For all the above reasons, we strongly advise you to uninstall all potentially unwanted programs (including Your Streaming Radio Now) immediately.
