The best you can do regarding the ConvertApps application is to remove it from your system immediately after you become aware of its appearance.

How did I get infected with?

ConvertApps is not the type of program that has an official representative website and that is offered to users as useful software. On the contrary, the application is rather dubious and as a consequence it is not distributed the same way as the other genuine programs. ConvertApps is considered to reach targeted computers bundled with freeware. This means that the installer of the program gets attached to the installer of a free application found on an unreliable file sharing website, and when users install the application in question they also acquire ConvertApps or other adware programs. Note that if this is how the program entered your PC, there will be more than one infection you will have to deal with. It is also possible that ConvertApps got installed on your PC because you clicked different pop-up ads you saw on the web. These ads contain links to websites that spread infections, so you were either urged to acquire dubious programs or their setup was automatically initiated when you clicked the ads. You should be very careful while you are on the web if you want to keep different infections away from your system, so make sure you do that.

Why are these ads dangerous?

It is important to remember that ConvertApps is not a harmless program running in your background. It poses serious threat to your virtual security because of the third-party ads it displays. Interacting with ads by ConvertApps may lead you to websites created by cyber criminals whose only goal is to spread infections and steal sensitive data and money from unsuspecting users. The consequences of landing on such a website could be damaging and for this reason ConvertApps ads should be avoided at all costs. Another disturbing thing about the ConvertApps application is the cookies it installs on your browser the moment it enters your system. Using them, the program will track your browsing activity and record information about it. If you let this continue, you risk having personal information recorded which will result in privacy breaches. Delete the ConvertApps application as soon as you get a chance and try not to wait for too long because you might suffer severe damage to your PC.
