What is Pdf2Docs

Pdf2Docs is a browser hijacker that comes bundled with freeware programs. It is not a virus, but this hijacker carries a greater potential threat to PC safety. Pdf2Docs looks like an ordinary search engine, such as Yahoo, Bing or Google, providing an ability to convert PDF files online. In fact, it brings a lot of problems and may be very annoying. Hijacker changes your browser settings, homepage, search engine and collects your personal information. It leads to increasing promotional materials in search results, permanent redirecting of users browser to the sites with a great number of ads, and also to sharing of users’ personal data to Pdf2Docs commercial partners. Be that as it may, we strongly recommend using our recommendations to remove Pdf2Docs.
