FreePDFCombiner Toolbar

Posted: July 18, 2018


The FreePDFCombiner Toolbar is a product of the Mindspark Interactive Network, which is meant to provide users with practical access to a variety of PDF tools that would allow them to merge, unlock, edit, and convert various documents into the PDF file format and vice versa. While this might sound convenient, we'd like to remind you that there are plenty of free services that do the same, and they will not require you to install 3rd-party software like the FreePDFCombiner. While the installation of this tool is not a major problem, it might bring certain annoying changes to the behavior of your default Web browser.

The FreePDFCombiner Toolbar is compatible with recent versions of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome so that it is safe to say that a fair number of users might be affected by the changes that this add-on is meant to bring. Users who try to install FreePDFCombiner Toolbar might be greeted by a permission request, which asks them to authorize the add-on to modify their browser's configuration. Depending on the Web browser used, users might experience different changes:

  • Chrome users will have their default new tab page set to http://hp.myway.com/freepdfcombiner/s27888chr/index.html
  • Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox users will have both their new tab and homepage set to http://hp.myway.com/freepdfcombiner/s27888chr/index.html

These changes are not harmful and, in fact, some users might consider the MyWay.com-hosted search engine to be useful. However, if you do not find the FreePDFCombiner Toolbar's services and changes useful, then we suggest that you take care of this Potentially Unwanted Program's (PUP) removal. One way to do this is to use your Web browser's add-on manager to uninstall the intrusive extension manually. The alternative is to use a suitable PC security utility that also specializes in dealing with PUPs.
