Daily File Converter

The Daily File Converter is a free tool offering its users seamless conversion for a wide variety of multimedia and text files. The Daily File Converter also comes with a built-in search engine and a default homepage (new tab), namely hxxpp://www.dailyfileconverter.co/homepage/homepage.html.

The Daily File Converter is available both as a free extension tool on the Google Chrome Web store and as a service on www(dot)dailyfileconverter(dot)co. However, PC users also MAY get this tool from online advertisements, redirecting Web links, or even from a carefully concealed software bundle. In this case, the Daily File Converter may land (and subsequently run) utterly unnoticed on any machine. Once in, the Daily File Converter changes both the search engine and the default page of every Web browser installed on the PC and sets them both to dailyfileconverter(dot)co. Since the new search engine is an integral part of the Daily File Converter, it may collect the user's search history and yield sponsored advertisements to every search query.

The developers of the Daily File Converter tool have stated clearly that the users will face no problems whatsoever if they decided to get rid of it. And while the Daily File Converter may disappear from the list of installed browser extensions, its search engine and homepage settings are unlikely to go away. Therefore, the risk of the users being redirected to potentially unsafe Web content will remain unless they revert to a reliable search engine. This reversion is not always an easy task when dealing with browser hijackers. No matter how many times you change a browser's settings, the hijacker will usually ignore your changes completely, thus necessitating automatic removal via an appropriate AV solution.
