What is EasyMediaConverter?

EasyMediaConverter is exactly what its name says — it is a media converter that is pretty easy to use. However, our researchers suggest removing it, since their research points out that EasyMediaConverter is a potentially unwanted program. Now, it is not dangerous or malicious, but its free version has the ability to display commercial advertisements on your browser. In addition to that this converter may also collect certain information about you. Although, it must be said that this converter is no joke. It can convert video and audio files, and it supports a lot of media formats, but the fact that it can show ads and keep tabs on people is a deal breaker for many security-conscious users. test test

Where does EasyMediaConverter come from?

EasyMediaConverter is very similar to SimpleMediaConverter, another potentially unwanted program that seems to have been developed by the same company. Although, this particular program looks like a leap forward from its predecessor as it looks more refined and well-crafted. However, it seems that the differences between them are just cosmetic as their functions are basically the same. EasyMediaConverter can be downloaded from its main website at Easymediaconverter.com. And, as far as we know, this is the only website that distributes it. our researchers have not found cases of this converter being bundled with other software.

Of course, we will not going to give our thoughts about the quality of its conversions, but focus more its questionable ad-displaying capabilities. EasyMediaConverter’s EULA states that this program is ad-supported. It says that the ads will appear only on certain pages, so you might not notice them at first. But when you do notice them, look for EasyMediaConverter’s name and logo, because all of its promotions have to be labeled. It is yet to be confirmed, but its advertisements may be unreliable.

Its Privacy Policy states that this program uses browser cookies and Web beacons to gather information, such as browser type and its language settings, Internet Protocol address, HTTP header information, and the actions you take on the converter’s website. Now, this may not look very important, but we do not think that you would like to share anything about yourself with unknown software developers.
