It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or even Safari. This means Apple users can get infected as well. Once inside ConverterPro will flood all your web browsers with various advertisements in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.

ConverterPro can be described as advertising network for cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers.

Another unwanted attribute of ConverterPro is data collection. Once inside it will collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, most visited sites or even your IP and email addresses. They adjust those advertisements according to collected data and make them even more relevant and attractive to you this way, so chances that you will click on one of them rise. An that’s the main goal of ConverterPro because they get paid for every click you make.
