Where does Rapid Media Converter come from?

The program’s distribution method is another reason we cannot label Rapid Media Converter as a malicious infection. The program has a homepage at rapidmediaconverter.com, and it is very easy to download Rapid Media Converter directly. When you access the main website, you are also allowed to “buy ad free version” of the application. This means that Rapid Media Converter’s developers are very clear about what their application does and that it can display third-party commercial notifications.

Nevertheless, since users complain about Rapid Media Converter and its ads, we can assume that the program also gets distributed in software packages. The freeware packages can be easily downloaded from file sharing websites. Users often do not even know what programs a third-party installer brings with it. What’s more, very few users pay attention to the freeware installation steps. Normally un-ticking some box during the installation should allow you to avoid installing Rapid Media Converter. Unfortunately, most of the time, users are too impatient to do that.

What does Rapid Media Converter do?

As you can probably tell, the primary function of this program is to convert audio and video files “in one click.” Rapid Media Converter says it supports .avi, .mp4, .3gp, .wmv, .mpeg, and many other media formats. The program also allows you to encode HD videos with it. It is said to be easy to install and simple to use and to have powerful features.

However, if you installed Rapid Media Converter accidentally, you are probably more concerned with the additional functionality of this program. Since the app runs on an ad-supported platform, it means that Rapid Media Converter may generate commercial advertisements on a number of sites during your browsing sessions.

Such commercial advertisements are more annoying than dangerous, but sometimes they could be embedded with unreliable third-party content. Rapid Media Converter clearly is not responsible for the third-party content security, so you should not leave that to chance.

How do I remove Rapid Media Converter?

If this program was installed on your PC accidentally, you should delete Rapid Media Converter right now following the manual removal instructions below this description. Thankfully, it is rather simple to uninstall the program on your own. However, if Rapid Media Converter managed to enter your system in a software package, it means that there are more unwanted applications on your computer.

Scan your system with a licensed antispyware tool to determine all the unwanted processes that are currently running. Remove them all at once using a computer security tool of your choice.
