Supposedly, it assists you in converting files, and not just that, but it claims to make the process fun, fast, and easy! Doesn’t that sound good? Too bad it’s all a lie. Yes, this is nothing more than a marketing ploy. Once you look past the smoke and mirrors of advertisement, it becomes quite clear that when it comes to this tool, the negatives far outweigh the positives. Not only does this program flood you with pop-up ads incessantly, but aside from obnoxious, they’re also highly unreliable.

Unfortunately, as was already mentioned, that won’t be your biggest worry when dealing with Rapid Media Converter. As soon as the program settles in your system, it starts to keep track of your browsing activities and catalog every move you make. When it determines that it has collected enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the unknown people behind it. After these individuals have it, they can use it as they see fit.
