Free FLV Converter Ads

What is Free FLV Converter?

The Free FLV Converter browser plugin is created by a company called Denco Limited. This browser extension is advertised as a useful plugin allowing users to convert songs and videos into different formats.

While such functionality may seem legitimate, computer users should be aware that Free FLV Converter is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application. The plugin infiltrates browsers (Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox) without users' consent (when downloading or installing free software) and generates intrusive in-text and pop-up ads.

Furthermore, this add-on track users' Internet browsers activity by recording browser type, IP addresses, websites visited, and other information. At time of research, this adware infiltrated browsers via deceptive freeware 'download clients' and fake downloads (fake browser updates and fake Java updates).

While this browser extension is not technically a virus or malware, its presence on your system can lead to security infections (when clicking third party ads displayed by this plugin) and privacy issues. Therefore you are advised to remove Free FLV Converter adware from your Internet browser/s.

The Free FLV Converter plugin is similar to other potentially unwanted applications, which infiltrate browsers through freeware downloads. Examples include Media Player Enhance, OptOn, and Shopop. While these plug-ins are advertised as being useful, they add no real value since their main purpose is to generate revenue from the display of intrusive online ads.

To avoid installation of adware, Internet users should be attentive when downloading free software. Today, most free software download websites use download clients to monetize their free services. Download clients are small programs offering installation of advertised browser plug-ins together with the chosen freeware.

Some download clients are very deceptive, and thus, it is important to inspect each download step carefully. If your download is managed by a download client, skip installation of Free FLV Converter or any other adware by clicking the 'decline' button.

If you have already installed the plugin, use the removal guide provided to eliminate this potentially unwanted application from your Internet browser/s.
