Your Video Converter Now
The Your Video Converter Now software is an ad-supported product by Polarity Technologies Ltd. We are tracking the activity of the company as it is known for using software bundling technologies to disperse browser extensions to users and have them load a custom Yahoo search engine. The Your Video Converter Now app is packed as a browser extension, which you can find on the Chrome Web Store at Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/your-video-converter-now/hgljkkecekpieacdjkneloajjhgaicej. The Your Video Converter Now extension is promoted to enable users to transcode media files in the browser. However, it requires privileges that are outside its functionality. Clicking on the 'Add to Chrome' button brings up a message box saying:

You may notice that the Your Video Converter Now app from Polarity Technologies Ltd. is using the same logo as Google's YouTube platform, which is a violation of the copyright laws. Additionally, the Your Video Converter Now does not support any media conversion technologies. Instead, users are shown links to free media conversion services like Online-convert.com, Clipchamp.com, and Zamzar.com on their new tabs. The Your Video Converter Now extension is designed to change your new tab to Search.yourvidconverter.com and use information about third-party extensions you have installed, as well as data you exchange over unencrypted connections to show personalized commercials via Search.yourvidconverter.com.
