ConvertMySearch

Posted: September 8, 2020

ConvertMySearch, also known as ConvertMySearch Search, is a questionable extension for popular Web browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Users are likely to end up at ConvertMySearch's download page if they are looking for a quick and easy way to convert audio, video or documents from one format to another. ConvertMySearch claims to be able to perform this task, but the truth is that it does not possess any file conversion capabilities – instead, all it does is to refer users to popular online converters for various file types. It achieves this by redirecting users to a low-quality search engine found at Feed.convertmysearch.com and Portal.convertmysearch.com - these Web pages will be set as the browser's default search engine and new tab page, respectively.

While ConvertMySearch is not a major troublemaker, it does make misleading promises, and it brings intrusive changes to your Web browser's settings. It is recommended to ignore such software and ensure its removal if you find it installed on your computer. Since ConvertMySearch is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), you should be able to complete its removal not only manually but also with the assistance of a suitable computer security scanner.
