TV Chrome

What is TV Chrome?

The idea of watching TV content right from your browser might be tempting, but if you are thinking to achieve this with TV Chrome, you may end up being disappointed or according to some users even scammed. This extension is not malicious or harmful to the system, which is why it falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Still, this it does not mean the application is entirely reliable either. On the contrary, our researchers from Anti-spyware-101.com are saying its working manner raises a lot of questions. Not to mention, TV Chrome has some harsh reviews on the Chrome Web Store page. If you already decided the plugin should be removed from your browser, you can scroll below the whole article and use the removal instructions. Those who would like to get to know the PUP better first, should have a look at the rest of the text.testtest

Where does TV Chrome come from?

To our knowledge TV Chrome can be downloaded both from tv-chrome.com and Chrome Web Store page. Talking about the extension’s homepage, some users complain the site displays misleading pop-up ads that may ask for sensitive information or suggest installing similar PUPs. Moreover, we noticed the site does not provide essential information about the product like its Privacy Policy or End User License Agreement statements. The lack of such necessary details might make it difficult to decide whether the application is trustworthy. On the other hand, we do not think there is a good reason why a reputable company would not display such statements, so it seems to us any program that does not make available such information could be considered to be suspicious. On top of this, our specialists say there is a chance the PUP could also be distributed through questionable pop-up ads or untrustworthy file-sharing web pages. It means some users could install it accidentally or without realizing it.

How does TV Chrome work?

As we mentioned before, the extension can be found on Chrome Web Store page, by its title or its unique ID number (licccgnfdlgmmmgaddmbcepikfadcmpe). The odd part is there are lots of reviews giving the tool top rating and describing it as a fantastic application with which one can easily access all TV channels, and then there are some harsh reviews that say the positive comments are fake or paid. Mostly, such users complain about annoying third-party ads, redirections to suspicious web pages, or being asked for sensitive information, such as details of their credit card, etc. The part about being asked to give your credit card details is most suspicious because TV Chrome is said to be free to use. If the tool is supposed to be free and there is not much information about it we would advise you not to provide it any banking information; otherwise, you may end being charged for services you never heard of.

The reason why we believe the harsh comments is that our specialists tested TV Chrome too and they did confirm it could redirect users to suspicious third-party web pages or show annoying advertisements, which might suggest downloading similar PUPs, other unreliable software, etc. Under such circumstances, we do not think it would be wise to keep the extension installed. It may work properly for some time or allow you to see a few TV channels, but even so, the risk of encountering potentially malicious ads or ending up on scam web pages where you could accidentally reveal sensitive data seems just not worth it.

How to erase TV Chrome?

Luckily, the PUP can be erased quite fast and without much effort. Users who wish to get rid of it manually could access the Google Chrome’s Extensions menu and delete the suspicious plugin from there. The whole process will be explained step by step in the instructions placed at the end of this text, so there is no need to worry if you do not know what to do. The second option would be to download a legitimate antimalware tool, set it to scan the computer and wait for a report. Near the report, there should be a deletion button; simply click it, and the tool should eliminate not just TV Chrome, but other possible threats as well.
