EasyConvert

The EasyConvert software may be marketed to Web surfers as the perfect conversion tool that can transform Microsoft Word files and images to PDF format. The EasyConvert application is made available to Google Chrome users for free via its official page on the Chrome Web store — https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/easyconvert/jfgkpeobcmjlocjpfgocelimhppdmigj. The official site for the EasyConvert app can be found via the URL http://thedoctopdf.com/doctopdf_ds_p/doctopdf_ds/n/zz. You should note that the homepage for the EasyConvert program can be loaded properly in Google Chrome only. There are no versions of EasyConvert for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer at the time of writing this.

The EasyConvert application is listed under the category 'Search Tools' on the Chrome Webstore as it is programmed to change your default search provider to http://srchbar.com/?q={searchTerms}. The EasyConvert application may change your new tab page to an offline page loaded from the extensions directory as 'chrome://easyconvert/jfgkpeobcmjlocjpfgocelimhppdmigj/index.html.' The EasyConvert program is free to use, and you are not required to pay for the conversion service. However, your Internet activity is monetized through sponsored search results and changing your primary search provider to Srchbar.com.
