AllConvertersSearches

What is AllConvertersSearches?

You should not keep programs that you do not install willingly. Even if they look as reliable as AllConvertersSearches, an unwanted program is still an unwanted program. Potentially unwanted programs are far from direct system security threats, but they shouldn’t be taken lightly. The main problem here is that they get added to your system accidentally, and if it was not your intention to have AllConvertersSearches (or any other similar application for that matter), you should most definitely remove it. For that, scroll down and find the removal guidelines at the bottom of this entry.test

Where does AllConvertersSearches come from?

This extension is very similar to SearchConverters, StreamBrosSearch, BestPDFSearch, and various other Chrome extensions that feature a portal of a homepage. They are practically identical, and it is obvious from the way they work and the layout of the website that they use.

Likewise, it is possible that all apps use the same distribution networks. We know for sure that these applications have official distribution sources, but they can also employ third-party networks. AllConvertersSearches clearly can be added to the Chrome browser via the official website or the Chrome Web Store. The fact that the app is on the Chrome Web Store shows that it is not a malicious infection. What’s more, it requires your authorization to be added to your browser.

Of course, it’s clear when AllConvertersSearches comes through official sources, but what about other routes? The truth is that no matter how this extension reaches your computer, it still needs your permission to enter the system. And if you don’t notice how this extension gets added to your browser, it doesn’t mean that you don’t agree to it.

It is very common for AllConvertersSearches to spread through websites that distribute commercial ads. Some of those ads may launch pages and pop-up windows that offer browser extensions. Since the “Add to Chrome” button can be really bold and colorful, you might click it without even realizing it. As a result, the extension would enter your system, and you would agree to it.

What does AllConvertersSearches do?

The moment you add this extension to your system, you give it permission to:

  • Read your browsing history

  • Change your search settings to: feed.allconverterssearches.com

Therefore, this extension changes your default search settings, and it happens with your permission. On the other hand, if users are not fully aware of that, it might seem that the modifications take place behind their backs. They could think that they got affected by a browser hijacker, but again, that is not the case because permissions were granted directly.

Aside from modifying some of the browser settings, AllConvertersSearches should also give you shortcuts to various popular websites. The official description says that the “extension lets you browse the web and get easy access to search, images, videos and news.” However, the question is whether you need this third-party application to provide you with these shortcuts. It should be possible to simply have these shortcuts directly on your browser’s shortcut bar, wouldn’t it?

What’s more, seeing how AllConvertersSearches collects information on your browsing history, there is a chance that the collected data will be used for online marketing purposes. So, it wouldn’t be surprising if the search results delivered through AllConvertersSearches were modified or at least sprinkled with a dose of commercial adverts.

For the most part, commercial ads are not malicious, and there shouldn’t be too much trouble about it. Nevertheless, we mustn’t rule out the possibility that the advertising space could be used by malevolent third parties. To avoid that, the sooner you remove AllConvertersSearches, the better.

How do I remove AllConvertersSearches?

Deleting browser extensions is fairly easy. You can remove them via the browser’s menu, but sometimes the modifications remain. If you don’t want to deal with it several times, you can simply reset your browser’s settings to default. It should be enough to terminate all the unwanted applications.

There’s also an option of using a licensed antispyware application that can help you remove everything automatically. It would also protect you from various threats. However, please note that you definitely need to review your browsing habits if you intend to avoid similar extensions in the future.
