Super Media Converter

Posted: May 18, 2016

The Super Media Converter software is a media conversion utility that you may encounter in free software packages that include Froovr and DynConIE. The Super Media Converter software may allow users to process images, videos and audio files for free. However, the Super Media Converter application may place watermarks with links to promotions and inject video commercials into your media content because it is supported by advertisements. The ad-free version of Super Media Converter is available for $6 per month. Security researchers alert that the store at Supermediaconverter.com does not use SSL encryption, and your credit card details may be recorded by third parties easily. Responsible computer users should not input their credit card details on insecure pages and transmit data over unencrypted channels. Additionally, the Super Media Converter may install a network adapter to show marketing content in your browser automatically.

You may see pop-up windows and banners by Super Media Converter that are not filtered by extensions like Adblock, Privacy Badger and Ghostery. That is why Super Media Converter is recognized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities that most users may wish to avoid installing. The Super Media Converter application is similar to the Swift Media Converter and RapidMediaConverter and may edit the values in your Registry to protect its installation and prevent manual removal. The Super Media Converter application may ask to access your social media profile on Facebook to post on your behalf. Needless to say, the Super Media Converter app may post promotional materials and adult-rated images on your news feed without your explicit approval. PC users are advised to revise the installation of the Super Media Converter media utility and consider removing it with the help of a trustworthy anti-spyware suite.
