Many computer users believe FromDocToPDF Toolbar to be a browser hijacker; however, our malware researchers do not agree with this statement. The home page and search provider modifications are legitimate, and you agree to them when you download the toolbar. If you do not want to use ask.com as the default search tool, you should not agree to the offered changes in the first place. Otherwise, you will need to think about the removal of undesirable search tools. If this is already a problem, you can use the manual removal guides presented below the article.

Even though FromDocToPDF Toolbar is not considered to be a malicious application, it can connect to the Internet without permission. What is more, the program launches on every system restart and initiates the service called FromDocToPDF_65Service. Even though this is how many applications run, you should be extra cautious if you have not agreed to such activity when installing the software. Note that this is the reason you may want to delete Popular Screensavers Toolbar, ConservativeTalkNow Toolbar, Citysearch Toolbar, and other Mindspark applications as well.

What is most suspicious about the toolbar is that it is related to undisclosed third parties. It is stated in the EULA that the plugin ‘may integrate, be integrated into, bundled, or be provided in connection with third-party services, feeds and/or content’.
