What is PUP.Daily File Converter?
Daily File Converter is a free tool for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers that is meant to convert files. Although the extension works, there is no need to install it because its services are neither exclusive nor highly useful. Unless you convert files all the time, you really need to think carefully if you should get involved. The services promoted by the extension are offered at cloudconvert.com, and so you might as well bookmark this website rather than install a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Well, what could go wrong if you installed it? First and foremost, that depends on how you install it. If you install the PUP along with malicious programs, you could encounter serious security problems. Besides that, the extension is not as innocent as it might appear to be at first, and our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has a few things to share with you. If you end up deciding you want to delete Daily File Converter, you can find a manual removal guide below. Before you follow it, we suggest you read this report.
How does Daily File Converter work?
Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox users can download Daily File Converter from dailyfileconverter.co and chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/daily-file-converter/ongfoliaholloncjjgkaadofljjaibig. These sources are considered to be official. If you acquire the PUP from either of them, other pieces will not be bundled together. However, additional offers (e.g., My Search Plus) could be introduced to you, and you have to be mindful about this. Do not just install something because it is free. Instead, take your time to research the programs and think if you can benefit from them. Of course, you should do the same amount of research and investigation when installing Daily File Converter itself. One of the first things you should do is review the Privacy Policy. If you have reviewed it, you know that the PUP can use web beacons, cookies, and other data-tracking technologies to record personal and non-personal information. According to the Privacy Policy, personal information might include full name, home address, telephone number, and even your social security number. If you do not want that kind of data recorded, we suggest you find a better file converter. If you have installed it already, the smart thing to do is remove it from your browser.
Although Daily File Converter converts files, to offer you the service, it takes over your browser first. According to our research, the PUP might even replace the homepage and the default search provider with dailyfileconverter.co. It presents links to cloudconvert.com, and it also allows converting files from the new tab of the browser. Besides this service, the PUP also offers to help you surf the web. The field in the center of the page accepts any search query and then redirects it to search.yahoo.com (Yahoo Search). Are the results trustworthy? They are because they are not adjusted by the PUP. That being said, the information you enter and the links you interact with are all part of the data that the program tracks and, later on, shares with third-party advertisers. If you want to stop this, you want to remove Daily File Converter.
How to delete Daily File Converter
If you choose to remove Daily File Converter manually, we also suggest that you clear browsing data to ensure that trackers employed by the PUP do not continue spying on you. It is not difficult to eliminate the unwanted extension and clear the browsing data even if you lack experience. To make the process smoother, we have created a step-by-step guide that should help you along the way. Obviously, if other PUPs or even malware have slithered in along with the unwanted extension, you have to think if you can take on the task on your own. We propose employing anti-malware software. It will automatically delete Daily File Converter and all threats, and you will not need to worry about it at all. You will not need to worry about the protection of your system and browsers against malware in the future either.
