PrintPDF Pro

By GoldSparrow in Potentially Unwanted Programs

PrintPDF Pro is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that is known to exhibit behavior typical for adware. The PrintPDF Pro software has been cleverly designed and developed to not raise any suspicions initially. In fact, if you take a look at the program's website and interface, you may think that PrintPDF Pro is, in fact, a legitimate and useful utility that can help both regular users and office workers who have to deal with PDF files and other digital documents regularly. According to the presentation published on PrintPDF Pro's website, this utility allows users to view quickly, create, edit and convert PDF files and other digital documents. Although the PrintPDF Pro software does exactly what it promises to, research shows that this application may rely on unfair propagation techniques whose primary purpose is to trick users into installing the PrintPDF Pro software unknowingly Although this app may not seem harmful, having it installed may introduce some unwanted changes to your computer's behavior. For example, PrintPDF Pro is known to affect web browsers by silently collecting data regarding the user's web browsing habits and activities. The information may be used to launch targeted advertising campaigns whose source is the PrintPDF Pro software. PrintPDF Pro may be installed as a stand-alone application that may also function as adware.

The PrintPDF Pro application may be installed via software bundles, so if you have this tool installed, there is a high chance that it may have been brought to your computer with a free piece of software you recently installed. Although the installation of PrintPDF Pro is optional, many users may fall for the misleading messages displayed during the installation, and they may accept to install PrintPDF Pro accidentally. If this PUP may not serve you well or if you are sick of the ads it may display, then removing it with the help of a reliable anti-malware solution is the best course of action.
