TheConverterSearch
Do not expect for TheConverterSearch to provide you with a converter. This Google Chrome-compatible extension can provide you with one thing only, and that is an unreliable search tool. What about the converter represented via portal.theconvertersearch.com? Perhaps you can use this converter, but we cannot guarantee that that is safe to do. Also, know that it is not integrated into the extension. Our research has thoroughly inspected the extension, and, at the time of research, all it could do was change the default search provider to feed.theconvertersearch.com. ...
AllConvertersSearches
Promises to enhance your search experience can make you think that AllConvertersSearches is a beneficial and desirable tool. Unfortunately, this Google Chrome extension is certainly not all that useful. In fact, we recommend removing it because we believe it to be useless and also kind of risky to deal with. Our team has thoroughly inspected this potentially unwanted program (PUP), but that was not completely necessary given that it is identical to SearchTheConverter, PDFSearchio, SearchConverters, StreamBrosSearch, and many other extensions alike. ...
Maps Assist
Maps Assist should help you find directions directly via your Google Chrome browser. However, it is doubtful that many people would actually use this tool when navigating, given that it is just a browser extension. There are plenty of apps and navigation tools that can do a better job and are more convenient to use. Nonetheless, over 50,000 Chrome users, supposedly, have installed this potentially unwanted program (PUP) from chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/maps-assist/kipfldnapokfooacjfpgdhkojgkcbocj already, and so there must be some appeal to it. ...
StreamSearchs
You might have installed StreamSearchs for several reasons. You have been convinced that it offers an enhanced search experience. You though that it has something to do with free streaming. You found it bundled with something else that you wanted to install. It is also possible that you do not remember installing it at all. Our team of cybersecurity researchers can assure you that this extension is not useful, and regardless of why you installed it, we are sure that you are better off without it. Perhaps you have already come to this conclusion, given that you have found this removal guide. ...
OpenSub search
OpenSub search is a Chrome extension that should help you improve your web search experience. On the other hand, this app is also a potentially unwanted program. As such, it could be the first step towards a variety of cybersecurity issues. In order to avoid those issues, it would be best to delete OpenSub search from your browser. If that’s why you’re here, just scroll down to the bottom for the manual removal instructions. If you want to learn more about the application, please continue reading this entry. ...
Ultra Tab
When you install something new, you have to make sure that the tool is trustworthy and beneficial. Ultra Tab might not fit that criteria, given that it has been found to redirect to a third-party search engine and also show modified results to promote links from unknown parties. This is why this extension created by SYNDIC8 PTE Ltd. is classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program). Further in our report, we discuss how this suspicious extension is introduced to Google Chrome users, how it works once it is installed, and why removing it is recommended. If you are completely surprised that we advise deleting Ultra Tab, you certainly want to keep reading to learn all about the suspicious extension. ...
PDFSearchio
You might look at the name of PDFSearchio and think that it is a tool built for PDF-related searches. Of course, that is not how this extension works. According to our research team, it is an advertising tool that masquerades as a search tool. Since you are reading this report, we assume that you want to delete PDFSearchio and that you already know the reasons why that is important to you. If that is the case, all you might need is for us to discuss the different removal techniques that can be employed. Of course, if you would like to learn more about this suspicious extension and why it is classified as a potentially unwanted program (or PUP), you certainly should keep reading. ...
SearchConverters
You might think that you can use SearchConverters to convert files, but that is just an illusion that you might have created for yourself after glancing at the name of the extension. Just like the official names of StreamBrosSearch, BestPDFSearch, ConverterzSearch, and numerous other extensions, the name of this PUP (potentially unwanted program) is meaningless as well. By the way, all of these extensions are part of the same family, and they have identical interfaces. They function the same too. All of these PUPs have search engines that offer a file converter, a currency converter, and a calculator. ...
Access Online Forms
Maybe you’re looking for a good tool that can give you direct access to multiple forms online, and Access Online Forms looks like a good choice for that. Yet, we think that it wouldn’t be a great idea to use this application because it can be classified as a potentially unwanted program. In other words, if it’s there on your computer, you probably didn’t think of adding it in the first place. If that’s really the case, remove Access Online Forms today and then scan your system with a security tool that will help you find other unwanted applications and then remove them as soon as possible. ...
AllConvertersSearch
It should be clear for anyone: if you don’t want a program, a program shouldn’t be on your computer. So, what are you supposed to do with something like AllConvertersSearch? If this extension is on your browser, but you didn’t want to have it, the obvious answer is to remove it. However, some users are too confused or absent-minded to notice that their browser’s settings were changed, and they allow this app to remain on your systems for quite a while. Although that is not terribly dangerous, it’s not a good idea either because that way, users expose themselves to potentially harmful content. ...
