AllConvertersSearch

AllConvertersSearch is a Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP) dedicated to promoting a fake search engine and the generation of money through sponsored links. The application may try to hide behind claims of useful features, but its real purpose becomes evident almost immediately after it has been installed on the computer.

It targets all the mainstream Web browsers - Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc., and modifies their default settings. AllConvertersSearc changes the homepage and new page tab to open either portal.allconverterssearch.com or feed.allconverterssearch.com. The default search engine will be set to feed.allconverterssearch.com, and all search queries carried out by the user will be redirected through it. On its own, though, the promoted search engine doesn't have the ability to generate a list of relevant results. That is why it redirects the search query once more, this time through a legitimate search engine - search.yahoo.com.

The consequences of having a PUP such as AllConvertersSearch present on your computer range from mild annoyance - users cannot revert the changes made to their web browsers, to a concerning one The as sponsored links leading to shady third-party sites may be injected into the displayed list of search results. That is why it is recommended to remove AllConvertersSearch as soon as possible.
