ConvertoWiz

Posted: December 14, 2018

ConvertoWiz is a tool, which aims to supply users with access to a neat set of file conversion utilities that can help them convert various Microsoft Office files into PDF and vice versa. Utilities like that can be very helpful in an office environment, but we would not recommend using ConvertoWiz in particular because this program is known to bring undesired changes to the settings of popular Web browsers. It is not a coincidence that multiple security products detect the ConvertoWiz as a ‘Potentially Unwanted Program’ and recommend its removal. The program is not harmful or threatening, but it might have an adverse impact on your Web surfing sessions, and you might not be able to make use of some of your Web browser’s features because of it.

When the ConvertoWiz application is installed, it may replace your Web browser’s default search settings with Feed.convertowiz.com – this search aggregator delivers results via Yahoo Search so that it is safe to say that it will provide credible results for now. However, do not forget that Feed.convertowiz.com is not associated with a reputable company, and its features are subject to change at any time.

If you installed the ConvertoWiz looking for file conversion options, then we advise you to make use of the countless of free file converters available online. They can get the job done without asking you to install 3rd-party add-ons that tamper with Web browser settings. In addition to finding an alternative, it also is recommended to remove the ConvertoWiz with the help of a suitable PC security utility.
