Search.easyvideoconverteraccess.com is a potentially unreliable search engine page that can appear in your browsers after you install an online video converter application. In fact, this questionable program only seems to affect Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer but not Google Chrome. It is, of course, possible that in the near future a new version will come out that will show up in Chrome as well. Because of its capabilities, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have classified this infection as a browser hijacker. This malware infection may change your home page, new tab page, and default search engine settings. We have found that this browser extension is completely unnecessary and simply serves as a potentially unsafe mediator since it does not have its own functions other than redirecting you to other websites. Since this browser hijacker could introduce you to questionable third-party content that may pose a threat to your system security, we suggest that you remove Search.easyvideoconverteraccess.com as soon as possible from your browsers.
