MyImageConverter Toolbar

Posted: July 7, 2016

The MyImageConverter Toolbar is a Web browser extension developed and published by Mindspark Interactive Network. Mindspark's toolbars are ill-famed because they may rely on low-quality software bundles for their distribution traditionally, and utilize misleading marketing tricks whose purpose is to convince people to install MyImageConverter Toolbar or other Mindspark software products unknowingly. The MyImageConverter Toolbar is advertised as a useful Web browser extension that allows users to convert any image from one file format to another quickly by simply dragging it to the MyImageConverter Toolbar's interface. The MyImageConverter Toolbar does indeed work as expected, but users who are offered to install it may not be informed that this toolbar's installation may bring unwanted advertisements and other marketing content to their Web browser. The MyImageConverter Toolbar is free, but it is ad-supported which means that Mindspark Interactive Network may use it to inject paid ads in the Web browsers of their users. The ads that accompany MyImageConverter Toolbar may often ignore the layout of the websites you visit and cover up important interface elements that should be visible. This impairs the Web browser's performance and leads to a less enjoyable Web browsing experience for users. The removal of MyImageConverter Toolbar is the only way to get rid of these unwanted ads. However, removing the MyImageConverter Toolbar manually may not be an easy job, and that's why we advise readers to use a reputable anti-malware scanner to deal with this low-level threat.
