PDF Converter Hub
The PDF Converter Hub software from https://pdfconverterhub.com is promoted as a reliable document conversion tool and a new tab replacement to the users of Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The PDF Converter Hub program is installed to the browser as an extension, an add-on, and a plug-in depending on your preferred Web browser. The PDF Converter Hub software is published by a marketing company known as Polarity Technologies LTD, which monetizes the user's activity on the Internet by providing highly targeted advertisements, drive-by installations and new search engines. The PDF Converter Hub program requires the following privies to run within your browser properly:
- Read and change your data on all hpdfconverthub.com sites and search.hpdfconverthub.com.
- Replace the page you see when opening a new tab.
- Read your browsing history.
- Manage your apps, extensions and themes.
- Access browser tabs.
- Access browser activity during navigation.
The PDF Converter Hub program may be free to use, but you should expect to receive promotional messages from Polarity on your new tab page regularly. Also, the document conversion features you may expect to be presented on the PDF Converter Hub New Tab page come from https://cloudconvert.com. The site has an official extension called 'CloudConvert' that can be found at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cloudconvert/hfpmbfgodkfcebpgheiedaddoikmljkk. The Cloudconvert.com site does not seem to endorse PDF Converter Hub from https://pdfconverterhub.com. Also, Search.hpdfconverterhub.com is not a standalone search engine; it is redirect-gateway to a customized version of Search.yahoo.com.
PC users navigating to search.hpdfconverthub.com may be shown dialog boxes that say 'Click "Allow" to enable breaking news, informative notifications, and sponsored offers,' and urge the users to enable in-browser notifications from sponsors to the PDF Converter Hub software. The PDF Converter Hub New Tab includes a weather forecast for your location and the time, and redirect links to https://cloudconvert.com. However, many users have complained about unwanted and annoying advertisements. PDF Converter Hub by Polarity Technologies LTD is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that you might consider for removal.
