PConverter Toolbar Removal Guide

PConverter Toolbar is a suspicious browser extension that affects users of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. This application says it will act as a free and fast conversion tool. Although you will be able to convert currencies, lengths, and temperatures via this application, the cons of its usage surely outweigh the pros. PConverter Toolbar comes from an infamous family and is associated with an unreliable search engine. Moreover, the application may hijack your browser, replacing the default homepage and search provider. It is also usually distributed in software bundles. We classify this toolbar as a potentially unwanted application and firmly believe that any user should delete it.

Mindspark Interactive Network has developed PConverter Toolbar. This company is responsible for many unreliable applications, and we recently reviewed some of them. For example, if you have CrazyForCraft Toolbar or EverydayLookup Toolbar installed on your device, then you should know that they come from the same family, and you will lose nothing by eliminating those toolbars.

If you install PConverter Toolbar from its official website, located at pconverter.com, the application will create an extension on all of the popular browsers that you use. Please keep in mind that, if you decide on the manual elimination of the application from your computer, in addition you will have to clean the unwanted extension from your Firefox and Chrome browsers after removing the toolbar itself via Control Panel.

The application fulfills some of the promises it makes, as it allows you to make some conversions. However, its useful feature will be overshadowed by the fact that PConverter Toolbar acts like a browser hijacker. The program will replace your homepage and search engine setting them to Ask.com. It is possible to decline all the offers and keep your current browser settings; however, you will need to be very attentive to do this.

You should also know that PConverter Toolbar may have entered your device when it came in a package with some other free application. People responsible for suspicious programs usually tend to hide them in bundles with borderline-legitimate applications. Even creators of malware use software bundles for distribution of their products. If you received PConverter Toolbar along with some program you have recently installed, then the possibility that you had the option to decline Ask.com search engine is rather small. Also, we suggest that you choose another search provider, as Ask.com is now outsourced to third parties, and those parties may modify the results to all of your search queries.

As we have already mentioned, you can delete PConverter Toolbar by means of Control Panel and then wipe out the unwanted extension from your browsers. However, you need to implement some more security measures. First of all, consider limiting your use of file sharing and freeware downloading sites. Those sites are full of hazardous programs, and you will never know exactly what you receive with every single download. Second, think about purchasing a legitimate antimalware scanner. Reliable security software will ensure that your system is 100% safe 24/7. None of the security threats, even the most dangerous ones, will enter your PC if you keep your defensive tool constantly updated.
