Should I Remove Video Converter?
Video Converter is classified as a browser hijacker and a potentially unwanted adware program. Its selling point is that it helps you deal with your video conversion problems, if you have any. It also claims to help you convert videos to any format and so on, and so on. You get the point, right? Video Converter can solve all of your video related issues. It all sounds great until reality punches you in the face. That’s because in reality, Video Converter does much more than “help” you solve your video related issues. Once it sneaks in your system, the program changes your browser homepage to home.tb.ask.com, and sets your default search engine to search.tb.ask.com. Kind of intrusive, right? But don’t think it stops there. Video Converter also floods you with a never-ending array of pop-up advertisements, as the application is ad-supported. If you want to spare yourself the joy of having an ad pop up every time you use your browser, and all the other issues that go along with Video Converter, remove it as soon as possible.
How did I get infected with?
Video Converter resorts to the usual antics in order to sneak into your system. One of its preferred methods for infection is through freeware installation. When it comes to freeware installs, even though they hide great risk, most users choose to rush through them and agree to everything just so they can be done with the process quicker. In their haste, even though they didn’t notice it, they agreed to install Video Converter on their PC. There really isn’t any other way to stress this enough: be more attentive when installing freeware! Otherwise you could end up with Video Converter, or something much worse. In any case, this isn’t the application’s only entry point. It can also infect your PC through spam email attachments, corrupted links or corrupted websites. Those are the most commonly used methods, but definitely not all of them.
Why is this dangerous?
Video Converter is more than capable to latch on to your system so deep that you won’t know where to look for it. That way it’s more difficult for you to get rid of it. Of course, it does more than just hide. Aside from the bombardment of pop-up ads and the hijacking of your browser, it can also make any other changes it feels like making. As was already mentioned, Video Converter is an ad-supported application. That means that it’s designed to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for third-party websites. In order to do its job more efficiently, immediately after its installation Video Converter starts to monitor your browsing activities and collect data on your preferences. Once it feels it has collected enough data on you, it starts to flood you with ads it feels like have a better shot at sparking your interest and resulting in a click, i.e. cash. The program also slows down your computer’s performance and messes with your browsing experiences in general. It basically interferes in any way it possibly can. Keep in mind that the only way to undo what the application has done, is to remove it from your system entirely. Save yourself the troubles and headaches, and do just that.
