Easy File Converter Plus Promos symptoms

Easy File Converter Plus Promos has been installed by thousands of users almost exclusively in the United States. It gets installed with or instead of extensions like Easy File Converter and on sites like Templateguru.co. People who just want to convert a file online may end up with this adware hijacking their browser.

Easy File Converter Plus Promos may cause a lot of distracting effects in your browser:

• new tabs open unexpectedly,
• floating ads appear,
• links are added to text,
• some websites are not accessible because you’re always redirected,
• ads are injected into web search results.

Besides showing you ads, Easy File Converter Plus Promos can read your browsing habits and use this data to tailor ads to you. Your activity and data about you can be shared with third-party advertising networks. If you care a lot about online privacy, this may be a little unsettling. Especially as your browsing history isn’t the only information visible to the extension – your passwords and messages could also be read in theory.

Problems with online converters

Online file conversion sites, if they’re free, are often adjacent to some hijackers. Be careful whenever you use them. Besides, Easy File Converter Plus Promos exists to advertise to you and works no matter what sites you visit and what other dubious extensions you’ve installed.

Anyway, if you often need to convert documents, online converters are not a great solution. Besides Easy File Converter Plus Promos, they promote adware like TheMediaConverter Promos, Instant Inbox, YourEasyConvert, and more.

The sites that are close to Easy File Converter Plus Promos, like Mediaconverteronline.com and Mediaconverterpro.com, do a lot of various conversions – but nothing that you couldn’t do with a mildly competent program.

For video and audio files, many editors, even the free ones, are capable of conversion with more settings than what you get in online converters. For PDF conversion, most programs that can edit files can also export them to PDF, which makes online converters useless. As for conversions from PDF to Doc (putting aside that the PDF format was made to not be edited), Mediaconverterpro.com offers some very basic settings that are not quite enough for all situations. If you’re okay with basic settings, offline tools are probably already available for you and they’ll do a fine job.

Not to mention, you wouldn’t have to upload your (possibly personal) files to an online server or deal with online ads (or with Easy File Converter Plus Promos). Consider acquiring a good-quality program to use regularly. This would be the safest.
