ConvertBox Toolbar

ConvertBox Toolbar is a strange toolbar just because it does not offer very beneficial or authentic services. This toolbar provides links to sites that supposedly can help you convert files, images, and measurements, all of which you can do without a toolbar. Our researchers suspect that this toolbar was created to promote unpopular sites, products, and services. In order to do that, the publisher of the toolbar, Bandoo Media, might also offer to install Ask Search along with the suspicious browser extension, but you do not need to install it if you do not want to. If you want to learn how to remove ConvertBox Toolbar and Ask Search, this is the removal guide you need to read.

Even though ConvertBox Toolbar shares certain features of Mindspark Toolbars, including TypingFanatic Toolbar and DownSpeedTest Toolbar, we have found that this program was created by INMIND INC. The company promotes its toolbar via lp.convertbox.io and Chrome Web Store. At this moment, ConvertBox Toolbar is not compatible with Internet Explorer, but you might install it on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. Of course, you should think twice before installing this program because there are a few reasons why you might want to delete it from your browsers.

As you might know – if you have analyzed the Privacy Policy – ConvertBox Toolbar works with third parties. These third parties might have access to information collected by web cookies, and they might introduce you to online advertisements. These ads are most likely to show up in the search results, which is why you have to be very careful. Even though we do not claim that all ads will be misleading, you have to be cautious at all times if you are unfamiliar with the parties producing the ads. If you are not altogether comfortable with this, it is best to delete ConvertBox Toolbar.

Even though Ask Search is a well-known search tool, you should not expect suspicious programs like ConvertBox Toolbar to offer authentic search services. If you do, you might be exposed to sponsored ads, and this might be the main reason to remove ConvertBox Toolbar from your browsers. After all, this browser extension is quite unpredictable, considering that it was created only to redirect you to third-party sites. If you decide that you want to keep using this toolbar, instead of removing it, it is important that you implement a legitimate security tool to monitor your virtual activity and block redirection to malicious sites.

Since ConvertBox Toolbar does not offer highly beneficial services, it is not worth the risks we have discussed in this report. The removal guide below shows how to delete ConvertBox Toolbar and Ask Search default search provider manually. You can also use automated malware detection and removal software to delete this undesirable software. Even though it might be too harsh to call ConvertBox Toolbar a malicious program, it certainly poses security threats that you must try to avoid.
