What is MyFileConvert Toolbar?
MyFileConvert Toolbar is a new member in the family of Mindspark toolbars. These toolbars are developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., and they usually arrive on computers as browsers extensions. Only Internet Explorer users will not find a new extension in the Toolbars and Extensions menu if they encounter a Mindspark toolbar because an ordinary application is installed on the system to affect this browser – it is listed in Control Panel. MyFileConvert Toolbar acts the same no matter if you download it from http://www.mytransitmapper.com/index.jhtml, its official website, it arrives on your PC in a software bundle with freeware, or it is installed the second you click on a pop-up advertisement promoting it. It does not surprise specialists at all that a number of users who download Mindspark toolbars willingly is growing because they are all presented as beneficial software and have official websites which add credibility. Unfortunately, users, no matter they download MyFileConvert Toolbar voluntarily or they find it installed on their PCs without their knowledge, do not usually suspect that a Mindspark toolbar active on their systems cannot be called fully trustworthy software. Specialists have decided to classify all these toolbars as potentially unwanted software. These browser plugins are not malicious applications, and they are not harmful at all if compared to malware; however, they might still start acting in an undesirable way, so keeping them installed is not such a good idea. Of course, we leave the final decision making in your hands.
What does MyFileConvert Toolbar do?
Without a doubt, MyFileConvert Toolbar does not act like a malicious application because it is not one of them; however, some users still do not like how it works. The first thing it does after users install it on their PCs is changing a homepage and a New Tab page. The page it sets contains buttons “Convert to PDF”, “Convert to DOC”, “View PDF”, “Translate”, “References”, and others. They open a third-party website which allows users to convert documents online. Additionally, the page set by this Mindspark toolbar contains quick-access buttons allowing users to launch such popular pages as Facebook, Amazon, Instagram, Gmail, and others with the click of a button. Some users find these two features quite useful; however, in the opinion of specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com, this does not make MyFileConvert Toolbar useful software. According to them, it is the opposite – this shows that this piece of software is not as useful as it claims to be since it does not do anything except for placing quick-access buttons opening third-party pages in one place. Moreover, research has shown that users might see the modified search results if they use the MyWay search box located on the page set by MyFileConvert Toolbar. It is not recommended to click on those modified search results because they might redirect to untrustworthy pages. Unfortunately, it is hardly possible to recognize them, so users who perform web searches via the search box of MyWay risk experiencing problems. It is one of the main reasons this toolbar has been categorized as a potentially unwanted program.
