Image Converter is a browser extension developed by JustPlug.It and distributed through the WebPick InstalleRex download and install manager. It is bundled with various adware offers and runs as a cross browser extension with multiple components, including a Windows service, an auto-starting feature, and a browser toolbar/plugin. The extension is designed to inject advertisements in the form of banner ads, hyper-text links, and pop-ups, and some versions may also hijack existing advertising on websites and inject affiliate codes in links as coupon offers. During installation, the program creates a folder with a random name in Program Files or ProgramData, and each included file has a shared randomly generated name. The Windows Service runs with full administrator rights under the Services control app and connects to a remote server for updates, while also creating a server that listens for TCP network requests locally. The advertisements displayed in the browser may include malvertising ads for 'required' updates of common programs as well as unwanted pop-ups. If downloaded, the program may install bundled adware utilities and additional browser extensions, and some versions may modify the browser's default security settings. Additionally, certain versions may come with a setup file signed by WEB PICK - INTERNET HOLDINGS LTD, the partner installer/distributor.
