What is Ads By Video Converter?
Ads By Video Converter might start bothering you every day no matter what you do if you install an application named Video Converter from http://www.freevideoconverterapp.com/ on your computer, or it finds a way how to get onto your system without your permission. Video Converter is advertised as an application that will “save you time & frustration” by making it easy to convert videos from/to a variety of popular forms. It not only works with all the popular video formats, but it is also very fast and easy to use. Well, at least the information provided on its official website says so. We have to admit that this program does look beneficial, but we still do not recommend keeping it installed when there are hundreds of more trustworthy tools with similar features available on the market. If you keep it, you will see for yourself that it has several drawbacks that clearly show that Video Converter is not an application that can be trusted fully. Continue reading to find more about it. If you decide not to keep it on your system once you find out all the truth about it, read the last paragraph of this report carefully because it contains all the necessary information about its removal.
What do Ads By Video Converter do?
Even though Video Converter is presented as a tool that can “solve all your video conversion problems” and “convert Videos to whatever format you want,” we cannot call it a fully reliable program because our researchers have found that it has several drawbacks. First, they have observed that it might collect information about users automatically. This is nothing very surprising because almost all suspicious programs record certain details about users. As for Video Converter, it should be able to access a list of viewed pages, IP address, operating system, browser type, location, and a bunch of other details that belong to the non-personally identifiable information category. It should not steal any sensitive information, but it might disclose all collected non-personal details to third parties. Second, researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com have managed to reveal that Video Converter might start displaying commercial advertisements labeled Ads By Video Converter. All these advertisements open third-party websites, but, unfortunately, we cannot promise that all of them are trustworthy pages. Theoretically, you might land on a page promoting untrustworthy software too, so you should be extremely cautious. Actually, it would be best not to click on Ads By Video Converter at all. As long as they are shown to you, you might click on them accidentally, so we highly recommend that you delete Video Converter from your computer completely. Once it is gone, you will no longer see any ads.
Where do Ads By Video Converter come from?
If you find Ads By Video Converter displayed on your screen periodically, you must have Video Converter installed on your computer. It has an official website, so you could have installed it from there; however, if you are 100% sure that you have nothing to do with its installation, it means that it was installed on your system without your knowledge. Users usually do not notice how untrustworthy software enters their computers because it often travels bundled with other programs. Bundling is only one of several popular methods used to spread suspicious software, so Video Converter could have entered your system in a different way too. In any event, you must delete it if you no longer want to see irritating advertisements.
