ConverterzSearch

Posted: July 20, 2020

ConverterzSearch is a questionable browser add-on whose installation may promise to bring great features to your Web browser. Still, its true purpose is different entirely – it hijacks your browser's configuration to promote a search engine located at Portal.converterz-search.com. This URL will be set as your Web browser's new tab page, and the ConverterzSearch add-on may also set Feed.converterz-search.com as the default search engine. These changes are not harmful, but they may make it difficult to find relevant Web search results, especially because of ConverterzSearch's affinity to promote sponsored results on top.

ConverterzSearch is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) – installing it is not a security concern, but it may bring some undesired side effects. ConverterzSearch is not a good choice when looking for file conversion utilities, and you should look into more credible alternatives, certainly.

If ConverterzSearch has modified your Web browser's settings, then you can revert the changes by taking care of this PUP's removal with the help of a suitable PC security tool.
