SimpleMediaConverter Removal Guide

If you are using SimpleMediaConverter as a means of converting video and audio files, then you should pay very close attention to the information we are going to provide, because it has been classified as a potentially unwanted program. You should start thinking about removing it from your computer and getting a better converter. The selection of video converters is extensive, and there are plenty of free programs to choose from. We want to stress the fact that this program is ad-supported, so it may subject you to annoying and untrustworthy ads, because no legitimate company would risk its reputation by associating itself with shady entities responsible for this program.

Indeed, the company’s name that developed SimpleMediaConverter is nowhere to be found. This converter is promoted on its own website at Simplemediaconverter.com. The website contains misleading information that we will analyze later on. To our knowledge, this website is SimpleMediaConverter’s main vehicle of distribution. From what we gather, some malware researchers think that it may also o be distributed via malicious software bundles, but we cannot confirm these claims, since no bundle samples were found. Many inexperienced users are tempted to download this program, because it is very simplistic.

It is so simplistic in fact that it becomes suspicious. This is a common trait among potentially unwanted programs. For example, this converter does not have a Preferences, Settings, or an Options window, which is an essential part of any lightweight program. Now, the information provided on SimpleMediaConverter website states that this program can convert video and audio files. However, the sample found on the website does not contain a capability to convert audio files. The file formats listed on the program are all video formats. After testing this application we came to the conclusion that as a video converter it is quite poor, because regardless of the chosen format, the quality drops significantly.

This program support the 7 most popular video formats that include MP4, EMPEG, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, and MOV that are enough for the average user to work with. It also has numerous presets conversion presets that cannot be customized. However, other, established video converters can offer more conversion options that can satisfy all of your needs. We have heard that oftentimes, the converted files become corrupted and you need to repeat the conversion process several times.

We think that you should abandon SimpleMediaConverter if you have it installed, because it is not a reliable program. Yes, it can convert popular video formats, but the quality of the converted file is not the greatest. We recommend that you opt for another video converter that would be more reliable and would not display annoying commercial advertisements. So if you want to remove SimpleMediaConverter, please follow the instructions provided below.
