Even though Video Converter is presented as a beneficial media converter, we cannot confirm that it is as useful as it claims to be, so if you still cannot decide whether or not you should install it on your computer, you should choose another application instead. If you still install this piece of software, it is only a question of time when you will start seeing Ads By Video Converter on your screen. They might appear to you in any form.

We are sure you will find some of them quite interesting, but you should still not click on any of them because they might take you to untrustworthy websites.
