PDFConverterSearchHQ

PDFConverterSearchHQ is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may end up on PC when looking for PDF conversion tools to add to your Web browser. PDFConverterSearchHQ works like a browser-enhancing add-on, but, in reality, its purpose is to generate revenue for its creators by redirecting you to a website they own.

The changes that PDFConverterSearchHQ does to achieve this are very intrusive – it will set your new tab to Portal.pdfconvertersearchhq.com, while the search aggregator will be set to Feed.pdfconvertersearchhq.com. While you can use these two websites to search the Web, you should know that the results may not always be accurate, and they are also likely to contain more advertisements than your favorite search engine.

The PDF converters that PDFConverterSearchHQ supposedly brings are nothing else than links to 3rd-party online services that you can use without relying on PDFConverterSearchHQ at all. Needless to say, this PUP's intrusive behavior and lack of redeemable features are good enough reasons to warrant its removal.

The proper way to uninstall PUPs is to use an up-to-date security tool, which can ensure the complete removal of all components linked to PDFConverterSearchHQ.
