FromDocToPDF is a malicious and intrusive browser extension. Not to mention, harmful. If you find yourself stuck with it, you better expect a few surprises to pop up shortly after it makes your computer its new home. The first act of intrusion it forces upon you is the installation of the FromDocToPDF toolbar. It tries to convince you that this is a helpful change, that it will result in only positives, but that’s a lie. Don’t buy it. Nothing this tool does is helpful! Everything it does causes you grievances and headaches, and further harm. That’s why the best course of action you can take is to delete the program as soon as you first become aware of its existence. That way, you won’t be forced to endure its daily intrusions, like the replacement of your default homepage and search engine, and the endless redirects to fromdoctopdf.ourtoolbar.com. Or, the pop-up advertisements it will continuously throw your way. Or, the slower PC performance and frequent system crashes, caused by the redirects and the ads plaguing your browsing experience non-stop. And, the nuisances mentioned above are just the minor inconveniences you’ll have to deal with, courtesy of FromDocToPDF. It does way more than merely test the limits of your patience with its obnoxious meddling. The hazardous program presents you with a severe malware threat, as well as jeopardizes your personal and financial information. The question is, are you going to let it mess up your system, possibly beyond repair, and threaten your private life? Here’s a hint: don’t! Protect yourself and your computer by deleting the tool as soon as you become aware of its presence. It’s the best thing you can do, and your future self will thank you for it.

How did I get infected with?

FromDocToPDF may be a malicious and intrusive application, but it’s also crafty and sneaky. Through slyness and subtlety, it finds a way to your system. And, it not only slithers into your PC but also does it without you even suspecting it. That’s right. The hazardous browser extension keeps you utterly oblivious to the fact that it invaded your computer until it chooses not to lurk in the shows anymore, and reveals itself. Once it does, issues start popping up like snowdrops in the winter. As for how exactly the malware managed to gain entry, it’s rather straightforward. It duped you into allowing it in yourself. You held the door open for it as it paraded right through, but don’t be too hard on yourself. To sneak in undetected, the tool usually turns to the old but gold means of infiltration as they’ve proven their worth over time. That includes hitching a ride with freeware or spam email attachments or hiding behind corrupted links or sites. Also, it often masks itself as a bogus update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. If you wish to keep your PC infection-free, remember to be extra attentive! After all, each method of invasion relies on your carelessness. So, don’t provide it. Don’t rush and don’t give into gullibility. You’d be surprised how far even a little extra attention can go.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The FromDocToPDF toolbar pretends to be legitimate. It tries to convince you that it’s trustworthy and useful while it’s anything but. In fact, it’s quite the contrary. The toolbar is immensely harmful and causes an abundance of damages. Its selling point, as you might have guessed already, is that it provides assistance when you wish to convert files to PDF. Unfortunately, its ‘assistance’ doesn’t end there. Once you look past the smoke and mirrors of advertisement, it’s evident that there are many dangers lurking beneath the sugary layer of marketing. For example, one of the discoveries you’ll make will be that the tool is related to unknown third parties. These individuals stand behind the program, and for it to proceed with its operations, they demand it generate pay-per-click revenue for them. If it fails, they take it down, and it falls into oblivion. And, that’s why you see so many pop-up ads appear once you get stuck with this extension. Each advertisement it shows you is potential profit. But no matter how enticing the ads seem, and you can be sure they’ll be quite so, do NOT click on them! Every time you press one of the program’s pop-ups, you unknowingly agree to install more malware on your system. If you wish NOT to overrun your system with more unwanted malicious tools, just ignore the ads and don’t click on a single one. Or, better yet, find and delete the nasty infection as soon as you see it has taken over your toolbar. That way, you’ll also protect your private life, which, as was already mentioned, FromDocToPDF places in grave jeopardy. That’s because, once the program settles on your system, it starts spying on you. It keeps track of your online activities and catalogs your every move. Then it sends the gathered data to the aforementioned third parties that published it. And, after these strangers have it, they can use it as they see fit. Are you going to allow that to happen? Think long and hard before you answer. Both your and your system’s future rest on your decision.
