GetSearchConverter
Are you looking for a tool that would make your searches more efficient? GetSearchConverter might sound like a tool that offers just that, but our researchers warn that it is not. Instead, it is just another PUP (potentially unwanted program) that was created for Google Chrome users to access their browsing data and to expose them to sponsored content that belongs to unknown third parties. Are you interested in such services? We are sure that you are not, and perhaps that is why you are reading this report. If you continue reading, you will learn not only how to delete GetSearchConverter but also GameSearchMedia, TopSportsSearch, IncognitoSearchPro, and other identical PUPs. ...
GameSearchMedia
Are you tired of the online games you play every day? If you are, GameSearchMedia might seem to offer a solution. After all, isn’t it a tool that should help you search for new games? Well, you should not pay attention to the names of extensions in all cases. That is because they can be misleading. In fact, this particular extension has nothing to do with gaming at all. It hijacks the default search provider, but only to redirect users’ searches to search.yahoo.com. Where is the problem with that? We explain that further in our report, but note that you should never trust suspicious extensions that redirect searches to popular search engines and claim to present optimized or enhanced search results. ...
Quick Recipes
Do not install Quick Recipes without fully understanding how this extension works. The same can and should be applied to everything that you install, but especially unfamiliar extensions and programs. If you think that you already know enough about this particular extension because you read the information presented via chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-recipes/ankdghfaanppinilbedkbcipgmdpgcmn or quickrecipessearch.com, let us remind you that official information is always meant to reassure users. What you must do instead is look at the reviews of authentic users and also trusted cybersecurity researchers. ...
GoIncognitoSearch
GoIncognitoSearch has nothing to do with anonymous/incognito browsing. It also has little to do with virtual searches. That, however, is not the only reason this extension is classified as a PUP – potentially unwanted program. If you installed it onto your Google Chrome browser, you must know that it offers nothing but a replacement for your default search provider, and, unfortunately, this is not the kind of change that can make your browsing experience better. On the contrary, if you use this tool, you are likely to put yourself in harm’s way. Have we convinced you to delete GoIncognitoSearch already? ...

GlobalSearchConverter

My Recipe Finder
Did you expect to find recipes using My Recipe Finder? You must have, because this extension offers nothing else for the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome users that it was designed for. The thing is that not all extensions that promise attractive and beneficial services are actually worth any attention. Also, many of them are completely unreliable and even dangerous to interact with. Therefore, just because something sounds like a beneficial tool does not mean that you should install it without any research or deliberation. Since you are reading our report, we assume that you want to delete My Recipe Finder. ...
