How to uninstall video download converter from mac

Online Video Converter &#; a potentially unwanted web application which relies on aggressive advertising

Online Video Converter is an adware-type virus which causes numerous ads while people are browsing online. While it is a legitimate online web application offering quick files&#; conversion from Youtube and similar sources, OnlineVideoConverter virus has already annoyed its victims by filling their searches with in-text links, banner ads, and similar content. The app can be used via hxxps://rushbrookrathbone.co.uk or an extension can be downloaded for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari browsers. Despite it being legitimate, dangerous redirecting tendencies make most of the users question its functionality.

If users check their browser stores, they will not find the mentioned extension. It can only be downloaded from the official website. Nevertheless, the most prevalent distribution method of this questionable application is bundling. Adware^[1] programs are often distributed using this method.

A lot of people might find the app useful as it can convert various video files from one format to another. However, this service is free for a reason. The main problem with the OnlineVideoConverter virus is that it displays a substantial amount of ads, popups, offers, deals, banners and similar non-stop. In most cases, the browser extension^[2] is the culprit.

In some cases, popups might display phishing messages (such as Win an iPhone X scam or rushbrookrathbone.co.uk_worm_osx scam) which can lead to monetary loss or personal information disclosure. The data leak might be used by cybercriminals to attack victims and steal their identity or/and their money. Thus, you should remove Online Video Converter ads ASAP.

Also, this extension can cause continual redirects while users browse the internet. These rerouting tendencies can be potentially dangerous, and victims might end up on websites which can run malicious JavaScripts to download and install malware on their PCs.

Hence, it is essential to initiate Online Video Converter removal before it can cause any damage to your computer. The easiest way to eliminate the unwanted applications is by employing a reputable security tool like ReimageIntego. This application is designed to deal with not only adware and PUPs but also much more dangerous viruses, such as ransomware or spyware.

Users who do not have an extension installed and decide to use the service might still be at risk. As soon as a user enters the link of the file to be converted, he is exposed to numerous ads and popups.
