About this infection

If whenever you open your browser you are redirected to Hyourpdfsconverternow.com, you are dealing with a browser hijacker, a relatively minor but annoying computer infection. You likely already noticed what a hijacker does, as the changes to browser’s settings are pretty obvious. You now have a weird website loading instead of your homepage/new tabs and may be redirected to weird websites.

Hijackers aim to redirect you to sponsored websites whose owners want more traffic and more revenue. It should be noted that not all of the sites will be safe, as some could harbor malware. Therefore, while the hijacker won’t directly harm your computer, it may still be able to lead you to serious computer issues. This, and the way they install without your permission should be reason enough to get rid of them. Thus, we recommend you delete Hyourpdfsconverternow.com from your computer.

This particular infection comes from a family of hijackers, and offers you a PDF conversion tool. It’s not unusual for hijackers to offer some kind of seemingly useful service so that users consider keeping the hijacker installed. However, most of those offered features can easily be obtained elsewhere.

Why remove Hyourpdfsconverternow.com?

Browser hijackers are generally added to free programs. They are attached as additional offers which you can opt out of. Not many people do however, as they do not pay enough attention to how they install programs. If those offers go undeselected, they will install alongside the program. The additional offers are hidden during program installation, thus you need to pick Advanced (Custom) settings when installing something. Advanced will make all offers visible, and will allow you to deselect everything. You simply need to uncheck the boxes and can then continue installing the program. We doubt you would find any of the attached offers useful, so we would recommend you always deselect them whenever installing a program.

Browser hijackers will change your browser’s settings as soon as they enter your computer. You will have a new homepage on all popular browsers you have installed, whether it’s Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Those changes will not be reversible while you still have the hijacker installed, as it will always just undo what you change. Until you terminate the hijacker, you’ll have to deal with seeing the weird site loading. The site will offer you tools to convert files to PDF or to DOC, as well as links to websites like Amazon, Walmart, Gmail, etc. As is usual for hijackers, there will also be a search engine provided. It will lead to Saferbrowser Yahoo Search, where you might encounter sponsored content inserted into the results. Those results would lead to unreliable websites, which would have nothing to do with what you were searching for. There’s also a possibility that those sites could be harboring malware.

Hijackers are also known to collect certain kind of information about users and their online behavior. It could be collecting info on what sites you visit, what kind of content you interact with, etc. It’s also not unusual for that info to be shared with unrelated third-parties.
