My Quick Converter

My Quick Converter is a browser hijacker developed by Polarity Technologies Ltd. If it ever successfully infiltrates your computer, you will find your browsers’ settings altered. Research has shown that it is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome browsers, so if you have any of these web browsers installed on your computer, you will notice the changes applied sooner or later. Specifically speaking, your homepage on all these browsers will be altered. Because of this, you will see http://search.hmyquickconverter.com/ open for you every time you launch any of them. This page looks like a search provider, but we cannot confirm that it is a legitimate search tool users can fearlessly use for web searching. There are several reasons it is not considered trustworthy, and you will find out about them all if you continue reading this article. If your final decision is the complete browser hijacker removal, you will need to perform a few removal steps to delete the search tool from the place of your homepage. The last paragraph will tell you about the browser hijacker removal in detail, so read it before you take action.

The appearance of http://search.hmyquickconverter.com/ suggests that it is an ordinary search provider, but it is only an illusion, specialists say. They have noticed that not all the search results opened by this search provider are based on the search query entered by the user. It has been observed that some of them are the so-called modified search results. The search tool returns them to users expecting that they will click on them and visit promoted pages. Most likely, the browser hijacker’s author gets some money for driving traffic to them. We are sure revenue is the most important thing for them, so you might find modified search results opening dubious pages promoting untrustworthy software too among the search results opened for you. It is not very easy to say which of the search results returned by http://search.hmyquickconverter.com/ can be fully trusted and which are these modified search results, so we see the only possible outcome here – the browser hijacker removal. It would be a sin to use the untrustworthy search tool set when there are so many reputable search providers available on the market.

You should know one more thing about http://search.hmyquickconverter.com/ if you decide to keep it. It is clearly written in its Privacy Policy that it might collect information about users. It claims that it “does not, generally, track or maintain personally identifiable information about consumers that use our Services,” but if you continue reading this document, you will find out that it might record details that can identify users personally as components of search data. Specifically speaking, these details will be recorded when they are entered in the search box by the user. On top of that, it will collect certain non-personally identifiable details, for example, the type of browser you are using, your operating system time, your geographic location, and other details. It will record anonymous information automatically.

There is a reason your browsers’ settings have been changed. Most likely, you have installed the entire malicious software bundle containing the My Quick Converter browser hijacker on your computer. Bundling is a common way to spread undesirable software, so you should always install new software on your computer carefully. You should not download applications from any dubious pages too because you might download malware from them. It will not be very easy to protect your PC from new malicious applications, but you need to do something if you do not want to find your browsers’ settings changed again without your knowledge. Without a doubt, the easiest way to prevent bad software from entering the system is to install security software. You should do this too if you do not want to find new undesirable software on your computer anytime soon.

Go to reset your all affected browsers to default if you do not want to see http://search.hmyquickconverter.com/ open for you anymore. We are sure that not all the users know how to do that, so we have asked our experienced specialists at pcthreat.com to prepare the manual removal guide. If you are sure that the manual method is not for you, you can use an automatic scanner instead. Only a reputable tool could delete the My Quick Converter browser hijacker from your PC so do not install the first decent-looking scanner you find on the web.
