If you do not want to find your Google Chrome settings altered, do not install PDF Convert Tab on your computer because this piece of software changes the default homepage and New Tab page right away. You will find a toolbar, a search box, and two buttons (Convert PDF to Other Format and Convert File to PDF) on this page. Actually, it might seem to be an ordinary search provider at first glance. At the time of writing, the PDF converter did not work, but, of course, it might be fixed in the future. If you have installed a fixed version of PDF Convert Tab, it does not mean that you should keep it. As researchers working at pcthreat.com have observed, there is a possibility that PDF Convert Tab might present users with sponsored links and even display advertisements. It is a huge drawback, so we would delete this piece of software if we were you. The biggest problem with these sponsored links and advertisements is that they can redirect to dubious websites.

Researchers working at pcthreat.com are 99% sure that PDF Convert Tab collects information about users. They have even checked its Privacy Policy document to find out whether or not it is true. The thorough analysis has shown that this potentially unwanted application collects several different types of information about users. First, it records information users provide themselves consciously. Second, it collects uploaded files and keeps them on its servers for 1 hour. Third, it automatically collects information sent by the user’s device, for example, IP address, search history, content of undeleted cookies, and many other details. What else you should know is that some information about you might be obtained from third parties as well: “We may also obtain information about you from third parties such as our authorized service providers, advertising companies, and HOPEBEST affiliates.” You cannot do anything to change how PDF Convert Tab acts, but if you do not want it to collect information about you automatically, you should delete it today. Do not let similar suspicious applications enter your system ever again – keep an antimalware tool enabled and always check software you plan to install twice.
