Best File Converter

Looking for a file converter could lead to installing a potentially unwanted program known as Best File Converter. It is not considered to be malicious, but it does not mean you should let your guard down with it. Our researchers say the application could have unwanted qualities that those who encounter it should know about if they are thinking about installing it. Therefore, further in the text, we talk about the potentially unwanted program’s working manner, its possible distribution channels, and other essential details. If you installed this program, but now wish to get rid of it, we can offer our deletion instructions located at the end of the article. Following them ought to help users eliminate Best File Converter from their browsers and their systems.

First things first, we should start with the ways the application might be distributed. While Best File Converter is available on the Chrome Web Store page and its official website (quickmapsanddirections.com), it does not mean it cannot be received from different channels as well. Our researchers say that a lot of potentially unwanted programs are spread through redirects, untrustworthy advertising content, and bundled software installers. This is why we recommend downloading/receiving tools only from legitimate sources. Also, each new application should be researched first in order to avoid downloading potentially dangerous software unknowingly. Plus, it might be easier to recognize questionable content with the help of a reliable antimalware tool, so if you have not picked one yet, you may want to consider it.

Moreover, we wish to talk about how the Best File Converter works. As said earlier, the application allows users to convert files. To be more precise, its description says the user gets access to PDF merge tools right from his new tab page. It means the converter should be loaded whenever the user creates a new tab with his browser application. However, together with the converter, the program may place a new search engine and a toolbar containing links to more online converters, local weather forecasts, news, etc. What you should know is that while you surf the Internet, Best File Converter might gather information about you. According to the software’s Privacy Policy paper, such information could be both personal and anonymous. For example, the potentially unwanted program could record search keywords, clicked advertisements, user’s geographic location, IP address, and so on.

Apparently, one of the purposes of collecting information about the user’s browsing habits is to “help advertisers and publishers connect with you to offer relevant advertising.” In other words, such information could be used to display targeted advertising content. The bad news is the same Privacy Policy paper also explains that the program’s developers take no responsibility for third-party content. Meaning, if, for example, some of the ads would appear to be possibly dangerous, the tool’s developers would not be to blame. Needless to say, we recommend being extra cautious with any advertisements that might be shown by this application. On the other hand, if you cannot stand targeted ads and do not want to risk receiving them, we would advise erasing Best File Converter. Instead, you could use one of the online file converters that do not require installation.

According to our researchers, the potentially unwanted program is currently compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. To learn how to remove it from the listed browsers manually, you could follow the instructions placed at the end of this paragraph. If the application comes back again, we would advise resetting the browser too. The other way to get rid of the Best File Converter is to scan the computer with a chosen antimalware tool. All you have to do is make sure you download a legitimate security tool and scan the computer with it. The tool ought to let you get rid of all identified threats at once by pressing its displayed deletion button. Lastly, if you need more help or have questions about the potentially unwanted program, you should not hesitate to leave us a message below.
