PDF Convert Tab

The PDF Convert Tab by Hopebest Inc Media is a browser add-on that is compatible with Google Chrome, and its purpose is to provide users with a convenient and swift way to convert documents and images into PDF and vice versa. What the users who wish to use the PDF Convert Tab might not know is that they can't complete the installation of this browser extension unless they accept to authorize it to replace the default new tab website they see whenever they use their Web browser. While this change is not unsafe, it is understandable why most users are likely to find it annoying.

The website that the PDF Convert Tab promotes by setting it as the default new tab is safe, and it hosts a simple search engine, as well as quick-access buttons that are meant to refer the user to online PDF conversion services. While this is useful, you should not forget that the PDF converters in question can be accessed without using the PDF Convert Tab, and you only need to run a quick Web search to find and bookmark them. It is safe to say that the 'feature' that the PDF Convert Tab promises is not unique at all, and it can be replaced with one or two additions to your browser bookmark bar easily.

Security researchers have determined that the PDF Convert Tab is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose removal is not mandatory, but it is the recommended course of action if you wish to undo the changes that this extension's installation brought. The recommended way to get rid of the PDF Convert Tab is to either use the Chrome's add-on manager or run a credible PC security software suite.
