ConvertPDFToWord

Posted: May 8, 2020

ConvertPDFToWord is a browser extension that your ant-virus product is likely to report as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.) Although many people think that browser add-ons fetched from the Chrome Store or Mozilla's official website are perfectly legitimate, this might not always be the case. While ConvertPDFToWord does not exhibit harmful behavior, its installation only can be completed if you accept to allow this extension to replace your browser's default new tab page. This change may force you to use a new tab page that you are not familiar with, and it will certainly not bring you to a reputable and feature-rich page.

Users may be tempted to install ConvertPDFToWord because it gives them the ability to convert PDFs on-the-fly, but we assure you that you do not need 3rd-party utilities to complete this task. There are countless free and reliable online services that can give you this feature without asking you to install 3rd-party tools.

If you are one of ConvertPDFToWord's disgruntled users, then we advise you to use a PC security scanner to dispose of this PUP. Once ConvertPDFToWord is removed, you will be able to revert your browser's settings back easily.
