FullVideoConverter Pro – Distribution
The “FullVideoConverter Pro” usually gets into your computer through third-party installers. It can sneak into your computer without your consent, by concealing itself in freeware installations and bundled packages.
In these packages, additional components for installation are not always disclosed properly, and people get tricked into installing potentially unwanted programs such as “FullVideoConverter Pro”. Sometimes that can be avoided by clicking on the “Advanced” or “Custom” option in an installation setup to see what, exactly, will be installed.
Other ways of getting affected is by opening spam emails and downloading e-mail attachments, or by clicking on various advertisements and banners containing suspicious content. You can also be tricked to download it from its official site: “fullvideoconverterpro.com”.
FullVideoConverter Pro – In Detail
“FullVideoConverter Pro” is classified as an adware. It claims to be a legitimate video converter that is so useful to the end-user that makes it a “must-have” tool, like its official site states.
It also claims to be really fast, to convert many videos, with different formats, at the same time without losing that fast speed, and the “Pro” in its name indicates that it is a professional version. However, it is very limited for such a “must-have” tool, some conversions take a lot of time, even if there is only one conversion active. The “Drag” button does not work. After conversion the new video file has a worse quality than the original or may not open at all. There are no other options in it, like a resolution, bitrate or any simple “must-have” features, for that matter.
When you browse the Internet after installing “FullVideoConverter Pro”, also collect different non-personally identifiable information about you like your search queries, websites you visited, your IP address, what have you clicked on, what you have installed on your computer and etc. This information is used to show you ads that can be of more interest to you and for other marketing purposes.
You may also be shown different advertisements in the form of pop-ups or banners, which may redirect you to various sites with other malicious content. The sites may get pay-per-click revenue when you visit them.
Also, it is said on the site of “FullVideoConverter Pro”, that you may cancel the cookies and toolbars that you will be asked to whether you like to install them. It is quite the contrary, because the application’s setup downloads and installs its files without asking you, and no “advanced” setup is shown if you download it from its official site.
