If the site Searchconverterpro.com is taking over your searches, that might mean that a malicious program is installed on your computer.

But for these purposes, it restricts your settings and opens potentially unwanted sites on your screen, which can be frustrating. Luckily, you can remove the hijacker and stop the Searchconverterpro.com redirects and info tracking.

How to remove Searchconverterpro.com

Remove malware

Uninstall SearchConverterPro, change your browser settings as needed, and the Searchconverterpro.com ads and redirects will stop.

You can find your browser extensions by opening your browser and looking in the upper right corner. Or you can open the main menu (also in the upper right), Settings, Extensions/Add-ons, and find your extensions that way.

Remove SearchConverterPro and all other third-party extensions that you did not install and don’t use.

It’s also recommended to scan your computer with an anti-malware app, such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others. This is to look for other dangerous programs, since it’s pretty common for adware apps to be installed a few at a time. If SearchConverterPro is on your PC, it’s strongly recommended to check your PC for other malware.

Change browser settings

Once you’ve removed all unwanted programs and browser add-ons, review your browser preferences:

• your default search engine,
• your new tab and home page,
• web push notification settings.

These settings can also be found on the settings page, more detailed instructions with screenshots are at the bottom of the page.

And if Searchconverterpro.com is sending you little pop-up ads, here’s how to block them:

• Chrome – open Settings, scroll down to Site settings (under Privacy and security), click on Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – open Settings, click Site Permissions, Notifications.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.

Find Searchconverterpro.com and if it’s labeled as “Allowed”, change it to “Block” or “Deny”.

Problems caused by Searchconverterpro.com

After SearchConverterPro is installed, it changes your browser settings:

• Feed.searchconverterpro.com becomes your default search engine,
• SearchConverterPro gets to read and change your browsing history,
• Searchconverterpro.com can read your search queries.

This all has some unpleasant consequences. First are the visible changes: when you search the web by typing a search query into your address bar, it’s sent to Searchconverterpro.com which then sends it to another site. In my experience, it was Mybrowser-search.com through Search.onlinebars.xyz. The problem is that the extension/website has control over your search results.

The ability by SearchConverterPro to read your browsing history also gives it power to open and close your browser tabs. You might notice unexpected pop-ups and redirects.

A less visible but no less serious consequence of the hijacking is the threat to your privacy. Searchconverterpro.com can read your search queries, which are very private as they might contain personal information. And SearchConverterPro can read your browsing history, which is data that’s normally only known to you alone.

Unwanted installation

As Searchconverterpro.com offers nothing valuable to its users, it can’t be promoted based on its features. In fact, from what I know about the hijackers that are extremely similar to it, such as TheVideoSearch and GetSearchConverter, you usually can’t even find them. Their store pages and their installation promos are hidden and can only be found if you have the exact link.

These hijackers tend to spread with the help of deceptive advertisements online. Ads such as “Recommended Extension, “Download Ready”, and other vague calls to action that can easily trick people into installing the extension. These ads often show up on file download sites and they try to trick people into mistaking them for real download links. This results in unintentional and unwanted installations.

SearchConverterPro might also be bundled with free programs as an optional offer. When you’re installing free programs, choose Custom or Advanced settings if they’re available. That’ll help you avoid unexpected programs being installed on your PC.
