The Yt2conv.com website offers users the ability to save their favorite YouTube clips as MP3 audio files. Users can enter the link for the chosen YouTube video, and the site will extract the audio and provide it as a downloadable file. Although many users could consider such functionality extremely helpful, there are several risks associated with using Yt2conv.com.

First, the service provided by the page goes against YouTube's Terms of Service, and could even violate copyright laws in the user's country of residence, based on local regulations. In addition, Yt2conv.com uses a rogue advertising network. This means that visitors could encounter deceptive or even unsafe advertisements while interacting with the page. For example, when infosec researchers clicked on the site's 'Convert' button, they were taken to a shady website promoting a dubious application advertised as an ad blocker.

Yt2conv.com also may ask users to enable its push notifications. Doing so will give the site important browser permissions, making it possible for it to start delivering intrusive advertisements to the user's system. The advertisements are very likely to promote additional, questionable pages or PUP (Potentially Unwanted Programs), posing as legitimate applications.
