    What is File Conversion Now? The Malwarebytes research team has determined that File Conversion Now is a browser NewTab. These so-called "NewTabs" can manipulate your browser(s), for example to change your startpage or searchscopes, so that the affected browser visits their site or one of their choice. This particular one is a newtab hijacker and uses web push notifications. How do I know if my computer is affected by File Conversion Now? You may see this browser extension: this warning during install: You may see this icon in your browsers menu-bar: this new startpage: and these new settings: How did File Conversion Now get on my computer? Browser hijackers use different methods for distributing themselves. This particular one was downloaded from the webstore: after a redirect from their website: How do I remove File Conversion Now? Our program Malwarebytes can detect and remove this potentially unwanted program. You can use their own uninstall instructions first, but I would advise to follow the steps below anyway. Please download Malwarebytes for Windows to your desktop. Double-click MBSetup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. When your Malwarebytes for Windows installation completes, the program opens to the Welcome to Malwarebytes screen. Click on the Get started button. Click Scan to start a Threat Scan. When the scan is finished click Quarantine to remove the found threats. Reboot the system if prompted to complete the removal process. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of File Conversion Now? No, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware removes File Conversion Now completely. If you have allowed the notifications you can read here how to disable them. How would the full version of Malwarebytes help protect me? We hope our application and this guide have helped you eradicate this hijacker. As you can see below the full version of Malwarebytes would have protected you against the File Conversion Now hijacker. It would have warned you before the application could install itself, giving you a chance to stop it before it became too late.

    What is GalaxySpin? The Malwarebytes research team has determined that GalaxySpin is a search hijacker. These so-called "hijackers" manipulate your browser(s), for example to change your startpage or searchscopes, so that the affected browser visits their site or one of their choice. This particular one is a search hijacker and uses web push notifications. How do I know if my computer is affected by GalaxySpin? You may see this entry in your list of installed Chrome extensions: and these warnings during install: You will see this icon in your Chrome menu-bar: and this changed setting: How did GalaxySpin get on my computer? Browser hijackers use different methods for distributing themselves. This particular one was downloaded from the webstore: after a redirect from their website: How do I remove GalaxySpin? Our program Malwarebytes can detect and remove this potentially unwanted program. Please download Malwarebytes for Windows to your desktop. Double-click MBSetup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. When your Malwarebytes for Windows installation completes, the program opens to the Welcome to Malwarebytes screen. Click on the Get started button. Click Scan to start a Threat Scan. When the scan is finished click Quarantine to remove the found threats. Reboot the system if prompted to complete the removal process. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of GalaxySpin? No, Malwarebytes removes GalaxySpin completely. If you have allowed the notifications you can read here how to disable them. How would the full version of Malwarebytes help protect me? We hope our application and this guide have helped you eradicate this hijacker. As you can see below the full version of Malwarebytes, as well as Browser Guard would have protected you against the GalaxySpin hijacker. It would have blocked their website, giving you a chance to stop before it became too late.

    What is FileConvertPro? The Malwarebytes research team has determined that FileConvertPro is a browser NewTab. These so-called "NewTabs" can manipulate your browser(s), for example to change your startpage or searchscopes, so that the affected browser visits their site or one of their choice. This particular one is a newtab hijacker and uses web push notifications. How do I know if my computer is affected by FileConvertPro? You may see this browser extension: these warnings during install: You may see this icon in your browsers menu-bar: this new startpage: and this new setting: How did FileConvertPro get on my computer? Browser hijackers use different methods for distributing themselves. This particular one was downloaded from the webstore: after a redirect from their website: How do I remove FileConvertPro? Our program Malwarebytes can detect and remove this potentially unwanted program. You can use their own uninstall instructions first, but I would advise to follow the steps below anyway. Please download Malwarebytes for Windows to your desktop. Double-click MBSetup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program. When your Malwarebytes for Windows installation completes, the program opens to the Welcome to Malwarebytes screen. Click on the Get started button. Click Scan to start a Threat Scan. When the scan is finished click Quarantine to remove the found threats. Reboot the system if prompted to complete the removal process. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of FileConvertPro? No, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware removes FileConvertPro completely. If you have allowed the notifications you can read here how to disable them. How would the full version of Malwarebytes help protect me? We hope our application and this guide have helped you eradicate this hijacker. As you can see below the full version of Malwarebytes would have protected you against the FileConvertPro hijacker. It would have warned you before the application could install itself, giving you a chance to stop it before it became too late.
