The ConvertDocsOnline toolbar is a browser add-on distributed by MyWay. It falls into the broad category of Potentially Unwanted Programs(PUPs). The most common method that PUPs like the ConvertDocsOnline toolbar get to your system is through software bundle installers that often contain many unsolicited applications riding along with the main thing you sought to download and install.
If you somehow got the ConvertDocsOnline toolbar on your system, you will notice that your homepage will change from what it was before to hxxp://hp.myway.com/convertdocsonline/ttab02. New tabs opened in both Firefox and Chrome also will display that page. The default search engine used by your browser also may switch to use a search that goes through myway.com. MyWay is an offshoot of Mindspark Interactive – an entity that is well-known for producing a lot of similar toolbars and search engines, the majority of which are flagged commonly as PUPs by numerous security suites and products.
The best way to avoid getting this unwanted browser add-on on your system would be to read the pop-ups you see on Web pages very carefully. Users also should be very thorough when reading the installer screens of downloaded software that might contain additional applications in a bundle, even if those piggy-backing applications are not very well disclosed and may be hidden behind small type or insignificant-looking check-boxes in the installer's interface.
