How does Media Converter Pro Promos work?
The Chrome Web Store installer for Media Converter Pro Promos was used to introduce Google Chrome users to the extension. At the time of research, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers could confirm that this installer was no longer active. It does not look like it was introduced via mediaconverterpro.com either. That being said, you might have it installed on your browser from before the installer was taken down. Or it could still be introduced via other app platforms. Perhaps it could be attached to other apps and extensions, and you might end up installing it by accident. Whatever the case might be, Media Converter Pro Promos should always work the same, and the only difference is that you might need to remove other suspicious pieces of software if you used suspicious sources when installing the PUP. The extension is classified as a PUP (or potentially unwanted program) because it does not add to the functionality of Media Converter Pro, and it does not seem to offer services that are beneficial for the user.
Once installed, Media Converter Pro Promos places cookies and other data-tracking technologies to collect information about users. Data can be obtained from third parties as well. The purpose is to use browsing history, user’s preferences, previous interaction with ads, and similar information to display personalized ads. One might think that that is a beneficial service. In reality, the ads could be falsely attractive, and you might end up clicking on them just because they look like they could provide you with deals and offers that are designed for you. At the end of the day, these ads are completely unpredictable, and it is unknown whose advertisements could be displayed. Therefore, there is a risk that you could end up facing ads that are associated with unreliable parties. Ultimately, even if ads are harmless, you need to think if you want to see them when browsing the web. If you do not want to be distracted and disturbed, it might be best for you to remove Media Converter Pro Promos.
