Even though it is supposed to provide you with the ability to convert your files from .doc to .pdf and vice versa, it is not actually functioning.

It’s strange, but there are a lot of browser hijackers that are faking to be .pdf to .doc converters – Pdf2DocPro, Search.searchipdf2.com, PdfConverter.pro, and so on. What’s not that strange, is that Search.hmyconverterhub.com was developed by Polarity Technologies LTD. The company is very active in developing malware, browser hijackers especially.

When Search.hmyconverterhub.com is set to be your new tab page, you will be forced to visit it more often or not. This website is plain simple, with a nice minimalistic design. It only has several links to websites that can actually convert files from .doc to .pdf and other way around, and the web search field.

They want you to use their service as your main web search provider, but we suggest not to do that. How come you should never trust Search.hmyconverterhub.com search, even though they redirect users to Yahoo search engine. The thing is they can customize results displayed there and direct you to websites that you should not be visiting. They might be affiliated with dangerous websites and earn money for directing web traffic to them.

In addition to that, those results might be misleading and not relevant, so that is a waste of time. Also, you might experience various web advertisements that were also delivered by Search.hmyconverterhub.com.

And that’s not even all of bad things about Search.hmyconverterhub.com. It can also infiltrate other malicious software into your computer or even leak your personal data, so you should not hesitate to remove it from your computer as soon as possible.
