Jetztkonvertieren.com - How to remove

Jetztkonvertieren.com appears when DateienJetztKonvertieren is installed. Even though it promises to help people convert files online, Jetztkonvertieren.com’s real goal seems to be advertising and data collection. Also, Jetztkonvertieren.com regularly offers various other browser add-ons in new tabs and pop-ups. It can be stopped by uninstalling DateienJetztKonvertieren and blocking Jetztkonvertieren.com’s notifications.

How to remove Jetztkonvertieren.com

Delete DateienJetztKonvertieren

DateienJetztKonvertieren is a browser add-on that changes some browser settings. It gets access to the browsing history and it changes the new tab page to Search.jetztkonvertieren.com.

Jetztkonvertieren.com, or Search.jetztkonvertieren.com, shows up in the browser when DateienJetztKonvertieren is installed. It needs to be uninstalled to free the browser from Jetztkonvertieren.com redirects.

Although removing DateienJetztKonvertieren does get rid of Jetztkonvertieren.com, there are likely a couple of related browser hijackers that were also installed, like My Search Finder, Fast Search Assist, or others. I recommend checking for them, as well.

To check and remove browser extensions, open your browser, open its main menu, go to Settings, Extensions. Or follow the instructions that are posted at the bottom for each different web browser. Then, disable or remove all the add-ons that are even a little suspicious.

To find and, if needed, remove malware automatically, scan your computer with an antivirus program (Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others). DateienJetztKonvertieren may be detected as Adware, Malware, Spigot, Wrapper, etc.

If DateienJetztKonvertieren refuses to be removed, like if the Remove button is missing, check the instructions for how to get around your browser being managed by an organization/administrator.

Block notifications

Those who see pop-ups for Jetztkonvertieren.com regularly might have had their notifications hijacked. You can block them in browser settings:

• Chrome – type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – type “edge://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Firefox – open Settings, Preferences, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.

You should see a list of sites that are allowed to send notifications to your browser. Next to each of them, there is a three-dot button. Press it to open a little menu. Choose the Block or Deny option to block notifications from that specific site.

Jetztkonvertieren.com – a browser hijacker

Once DateienJetztKonvertieren is installed, it changes the browser:

• It makes Jetztkonvertieren.com the new home page and new tab. It could have stuck to using an extension pop-up (the pop-up that appears when clicking on an extension icon in the upper right corner of the browser). But it hijacks the new tab instead.
• It uses Jetztkonvertieren.com to show ads and clickbait links. Not all the links are ads, but the ads are features most prominently.
• It can read the browsing history. It can also read all the search queries. This data can be used to help advertisers target ads.
• Jetztkonvertieren.com asks to display notification pop-ups that can be used as ads.
• DateienJetztKonvertieren can open new tabs in the browser. It uses them to promote additional optional products.
• Jetztkonvertieren.com promotes Yahoo search and there’s no way to make it use another search engine. That’s just another unnecessary restriction.
• When installing DateienJetztKonvertieren from Jetztkonvertieren.com, other add-ons may be offered that replace the default search engine, taking even more control over the browser.

Jetztkonvertieren.com is just a pushy, unnecessarily invasive browser add-on that exists less to help people convert their files and more to advertise to them and collect data about them. No wonder then that it’s made by Eightpoint, the same company that released Htemplatefinders.com, Hlogincenter.co, as well as Fast Search Assist, Quick Search Tool, and others.
