The “FullAudioConverter” is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which claims to be a fast audio converter with no unnecessary functions making it a must-have program. It also claims to be Spyware and Adware free. All these claims are false. Some functions don’t work properly or don’t work at all. Also, there are many toolbars and advertisements associated with its installation and spying cookies inserted in your computer without your consent or awareness. You may notice the toolbars and some ads when browsing the Web.
FullAudioConverter – Distribution
The “FullAudioConverter” 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 “FullAudioConverter”. 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 infected is by opening spam emails and downloading e-mail attachments, or by clicking on various advertisements and banners containing malicious content. You can also be tricked to download it from its official site: “fullaudioconverter.com”.
FullAudioConverter – In Detail
“FullAudioConverter” claims to be an audio converter, with no unnecessary functions, making it very easy to use. It also claims to be really fast, to convert many audio files at the same time, with many different formats, for various platforms. However, it some conversions may take a lot of time for audio files, and even it is not rare to experience a freeze, slow-downs of the operating system or a crash while using this program. On other occasions, the program just doesn’t load.
The program is related to “FullVideoConverter Pro” , another known adware. The “Drag” button, compared to the video converter, actually works. But for a program, that handles only audio conversion, with small files most of the time, it’s not as fast as it should be, and often the program can freeze and be unresponsive. There are no options that are necessary even for the simplest of converters, like bitrate, frequency and the quality of the sound.
When you browse the Internet after installing “FullAudioConverter”, it may 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 may be used in order to show you more personalized commercial content 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 would potentially get pay-per-click revenue when you visit them, as well.
Also, it is said on the site of “FullAudioConverter”, that you may cancel the cookies and toolbars that you will be asked to whether you like to install them. It is quite the opposite, due to the fact that 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.
