If both your New Tab and homepage have been changed to Pdfconverter.pro, you must have installed the Google Chrome browser extension from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mediatab-tv-pdfconverter/pgcbamhcnohldmlkbngdagaaabkakfgd. If you are sure you have nothing to do with this, it could have affected your browsers without your knowledge. Either way, our security specialists recommend that you remove the MediaTab TV – PdfConverter extension if you want to get rid of the page set. This is the only way to do this, so take action immediately after you read this article. This piece of software is promoted as a “new Chrome extension for converting your documents, beautiful browsing and searching experience,” but we still cannot let you keep it because it has been categorized as a potentially unwanted program, meaning that it is not fully reliable. You will find more about this Google Chrome extension if you continue reading this article. It is very likely that you will decide to get rid of this extension after reading this report, so we have prepared the manual removal guide for you.

The installation of MediaTab TV – PdfConverter will result in altered settings of Google Chrome. To be more specific, you will find both your homepage and New Tab altered. Pdfconverter.pro contains a search box and three quick-access buttons (PPT TO PDF, PDF TO WORD, and WORD TO PDF) that all open a third-party file conversion service (https://smallpdf.com/). As for the search provider, we cannot guarantee that all search results you will be presented with after entering a search query will be 100% trustworthy too. There is a possibility that some sponsored links will be displayed to you either, so, in our opinion, it would be smarter to perform web searches using another search provider that is 100% reliable. The online file converter promoted by Pdfconverter.pro can also be accessed without its help. You could access and continue using it after removing the potentially unwanted program by simply typing its URL in your browser’s URL bar and pressing Enter.
