I wrote this article to help you remove Convert2mp3 Virus. This Convert2mp3 Virus removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Your homepage and search engine suddenly got replaced by the Convert2mp3 website? It looks like your browser has been hijacked. In fact, it is very likely that other browser settings have been altered too, like an unauthorized installation of toolbars, extensions and add-ons. Victims of browser hijackers will also get bombarded by pop-ups, ads, exclusive deals, coupons, fake updates and blinking messages that would be specifically targeted, according to the already obtained browsing history and habits of the user, all thanks to the hijacker’s abilities.

Who would want to get their browsing information monitored? This is a serious security breach, which is why victims of the Convert2mp3 ”virus” are advised to proceed with the immediate removal of this malicious software, before those ads have the opportunity to lead them to suspicious third-party websites that may be infected with other viruses.

It is very common for browser hijackers to get distributed through spam emails and attachments. Users must be aware of the potential threat that letters from unknown senders possess. It is not recommended to open any emails or attachments with suspicious origin.

The Convert2mp3 hijacker is often hidden in free software bundles. What the user can do in such cases is to always opt for a Custom installation process, in order to make sure there is no additional software included in said bundles. This way, all you have to do is deselect any software that you deem suspicious or did not intend to download in the first place. Don’t be quick to press on that “Next” button when following through the installation because such rushed action can lead to a virus infection.

While the Convert2mp3 redirect is not exactly considered to be a virus itself, it is still a tool in the hands of hackers. Browser hijackers are generally just annoying ad-generating PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that create revenue by the pay-per-click method. But make no mistake, there is still a possibility of getting more than just the average ad attack that goes along with any browser hijacker. The thing is, you never know where those dubious links can redirect you to. You may even fall victim to other more dangerous viruses like ransomware, worms or even Trojan Horses that can easily obtain your personal data such as passwords, credit card numbers, bank account information, etc.

To prevent that from happening, you must proceed with the removal of the Convert2mp3 hijacker as soon as you notice your browser has been infected by it. We can help you with this task. Just continue reading and follow our detailed instructions to get rid of this malware nuisance once and for all!
