BestVideoConverter virus

BestVideoConverter is promoted as a free web application and program that can help you convert video and media files. However, Antivirus and Anti-Malware products have included this item in the potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware categories of possibly computer threats. BestVideoConverter is known to access a PC without user knowledge, observe and gather your user browsing data, and inject the webpages you visit with deceptive and intrusive advertisements. BestVideoConverter ads can be delivered as generic banner and skyscrapers, in-text ads, pop-up ads, and pop-under ads. Ads by BestVideoConverter are also served across multiple internet browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari.

BestVideoConverter adware is sometimes referred to as the “BestVideoConverter vius” but it is not technically defined as a computer virus. The program is still a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a serious malware infection. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove BestVideoConverter if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension and use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any malicious files.
