About Convertmypdf.co browser hijacker

As we have mentioned before, if you try to convert documents using Convertmypdf.co tool, you will be asked to install their add-on. This add-on is compatible with all most popular web browsers out there, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge or even Safari. That means Apple users can get infected as well.

Once inside of your computer, Convertmypdf.co will change some settings on your web browsers, such as homepage and default search engine without even asking for your permission. It also has some attributes of an adware, so various advertisements might appear while you browser the Internet. Ads displayed by Convertmypdf.co can come in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with ads on it can be opened at any time as well.

Even though those ads displayed by Convertmypdf.co look very appealing, we do not recommend to click on any of them. If it happens so that you click on the ad displayed by Convertmypdf.co you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed.

Convertmypdf.co can also collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, most visited sites or even your IP and email addresses. They use this information to “improve” the quality of their service. In other words, they just adjust advertisements according to your interests, so chances that you will click on one of them rise. And that’s the main goal of Convertmypdf.co because developers of this extension earn money this way.
