Pdf2docpro.com Redirect

What is pdf2docpro.com?

Developed by Perion Network Ltd, Pdf2docpro.com is a fake search engine and browser hijacker app also known as Pdf2DocPro. It offers free features for PDF to DOC file conversion (and vice versa) and for making any PDF file editable. You can convert as many files as you wish.

The Pdf2DocPro app comes in the form of an extension and targets Google Chrome users. Once installed, it changes the homepage to pdf2docpro.com, which contains a search box and quick access links to DOC and PDF converters, and a translator. It also contains quick links to websites such as gmail.com, youtube.com, facebook.com, eBay.com, and more.

When you enter a query, it redirects to bing.com, a legitimate search engine. This conversion-based search engine may seem like a useful tool for users working with DOC and PDF files, however, having Pdf2DocPro installed also means that your browser is hijacked.

It changes the browser settings and replaces the homepage, search engine, and new tabs with pdf2docpro.com Furthermore, it collects information about your browsing habits and tracks visited websites, IP addresses, search queries, and more.

Most browser hijackers have an identical purpose: to generate revenue. Therefore, you will probably experience unwanted or misleading redirects and offered various services and products.

Pdf2DocPro is one of many browser hijackers that offers a search engine and extra tools. There are other similar browser hijackers including, for example, Easy To Convert Now, The Calendar, and Design Your Site. All claim to be legitimate, however, most collect data from users and provide them with unwanted redirects, pop-ups, add-ons, etc.

By using a browser hijacker you might be tricked into downloading malicious software or it could cause more serious problems such as identity theft and other privacy issues.

How did Pdf2DocPro install on my computer?

The Pdf2DocPro browser hijacker app is available on pdf2docpro.com but it can also be installed in other ways. In most cases, browser hijackers are delivered with other software that you download from the Internet (the 'bundling' method). Apps such as Pdf2DocPro are often hidden in "Advanced", "Custom", and other similar options.

There might also be a checkbox ticked by default and indicating that you agree to download an app such as the Pdf2DocPro browser hijacker. It is also possible that you clicked on an intrusive ad or a "Download" button and then received unwanted software infiltration. Browser hijackers can also be installed via third party software download managers and other similar tools.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To avoid installation of potentially unwanted programs, be careful when installing software, especially if it is free. Do not skip installation steps and check all available options/settings including "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", etc. Do not download software from unofficial websites and use direct links only.

Avoid using third party software downloaders/installers, since most are monetized by promoting potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Browse the web carefully and do not click intrusive ads or "Download" buttons - in many cases, these redirect you to various untrustworthy websites.

Have antivirus software installed and keep it enabled. If your computer is already infected with Pdf2DocPro, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this browser hijacker.
