Do you know what ConvertAnyFile Toolbar is?
ConvertAnyFile Toolbar is a browser plugin which says that it will enable you to convert various .pdf, .doc, .bmp, .gif, .mp3, and .tiff files. Even though it seems to be a really useful browser plugin, it is definitely not 100% trustworthy, so our security specialists do not recommend that you keep it installed. In fact, our specialists recommend that you do not allow other toolbars published by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. to enter your system because none of these toolbars are 100% reliable. In fact, it is very important that you remove ConvertAnyFile Toolbar as soon as possible if you have downloaded it from some kind of untrustworthy website because it might be modified and cause serious harm to your system. Do not forget to remove other undesirable programs that might have slithered onto your PC as well.
We do not think that ConvertAnyFile Toolbar can be trusted 100% because icons placed on the toolbar might redirect you to affiliated websites. These websites might not be reliable, which means that you might cause harm to your PC rather quickly. What is more, it has been noticed that ConvertAnyFile Toolbar is closely associated with ask.com. Thus, it is not surprising that this search engine will replace your regular homepage and search provider. We cannot say that this search engine is untrustworthy, but you should know that it might still provide you with third-party links and ads. They will look exactly like normal search results, which mean that you will click on them very quickly. Third-party links, if they appear to you, might also redirect you to untrustworthy websites. If you do not want to end up on them, make sure that you remove ConvertAnyFile Toolbar as soon as possible. You will also have to get rid of ask.com after you remove ConvertAnyFile Toolbar.
