Optional Offer for WinThruster by Solvusoft Overview of Converthelpersetup.exe What Is Converthelpersetup.exe? Converthelpersetup.exe is a type of EXE file associated with ConvertHelper developed by DownloadHelper for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Converthelpersetup.exe is 1.0, which was produced for Windows 7. This EXE file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of 'UNKNOWN'. What Are EXE Files?
EXE ('executable') files, such as converthelpersetup.exe, are files that contain step-by-step instructions that a computer follows to carry out a function. When you 'double-click' an EXE file, your computer automatically executes these instructions designed by a software developer (eg. DownloadHelper) to run a program (eg. ConvertHelper) on your PC. Every software application on your PC uses an executable file - your web browser, word processor, spreadsheet program, etc. making it one of the most useful kinds of files in the Windows operating system.
Without executable files like converthelpersetup.exe, you wouldn't be able to use any programs on your PC. Why Do I Have EXE Errors? Because of their usefulness and ubiquity, EXE files are commonly used as a method of delivery for virus / malware infection. Often, viruses will be disguised as a benign EXE file (such as converthelpersetup.exe) and distributed through SPAM email or malicious websites, which can then infect your computer when executed (eg. When you double-click the EXE file). In addition, viruses can infect, replace, or corrupt existing EXE files, which can then lead to error messages when ConvertHelper or related programs are executed.
Thus, any executable files that you download to your PC should be scanned for viruses before opening - even if you think it is from a reputable source. When Do EXE Errors Occur? EXE errors, such as those associated with converthelpersetup.exe, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program (eg. Common Converthelpersetup.exe Error Messages The most common converthelpersetup.exe errors that can appear on a Windows-based computer are:. 'Converthelpersetup.exe Application Error.' . 'Converthelpersetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.'
. 'Converthelpersetup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.' . 'Cannot find converthelpersetup.exe.' . 'Converthelpersetup.exe not found.' .
'Error starting program: converthelpersetup.exe.' .
'Converthelpersetup.exe is not running.' . 'Converthelpersetup.exe failed.' . 'Faulting Application Path: converthelpersetup.exe.'
These EXE error messages can appear during program installation, while a converthelpersetup.exe-related software program (eg. ConvertHelper) is running, during Windows startup or shutdown, or even during the installation of the Windows operating system. Keeping track of when and where your converthelpersetup.exe error occurs is a critical piece of information in troubleshooting the problem.
Recommendation: Optional Offer for WinThruster by Solvusoft Causes of Converthelpersetup.exe Errors Converthelpersetup.exe problems can be attributed to corrupt or missing files, invalid registry entries associated with Converthelpersetup.exe, or a virus / malware infection. More specifically, these converthelpersetup.exe errors can be caused by:. Corrupt Windows registry keys associated with converthelpersetup.exe / ConvertHelper. Virus or malware infection that has corrupted the converthelpersetup.exe file or related ConvertHelper program files. Another program maliciously or mistakenly deleted converthelpersetup.exe-related files. Another program is in conflict with ConvertHelper and its shared referenced files. Corrupt download or incomplete installation of ConvertHelper software.
Caution: We do not recommend downloading converthelpersetup.exe from 'EXE download' sites. These sites distribute EXE files that are unapproved by the official converthelpersetup.exe file developer, and can often be bundled with virus-infected or other malicious files. If you require a copy of converthelpersetup.exe, it is recommended that you obtain it directly from DownloadHelper. Below is a list of troubleshooting steps to resolve your converthelpersetup.exe problems.
These troubleshooting steps get progressively more difficult and time consuming, so we strongly recommend attempting them in ascending order to avoid unnecessary time and effort. Please Note: Click the image to expand the troubleshooting instructions for each step below. You can also click the image to hide the instructions as you proceed through each step. Sometimes converthelpersetup.exe and other EXE system errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can share the same converthelpersetup.exe file, but when these programs are uninstalled or changed, sometimes 'orphaned' (invalid) EXE registry entries are left behind.
Basically, what this means is that while the actual file path may have changed, its incorrect former location is still recorded in the Windows registry. When Windows tries looking up these incorrect file references (file locations on your PC), converthelpersetup.exe errors can occur. In addition, malware infection may have corrupted the registry entries associated with ConvertHelper.
Thus, these invalid EXE registry entries need to be repaired to fix the root of the problem. Manually editing the Windows registry to remove invalid converthelpersetup.exe keys is not recommended unless you are PC service professional.
Incorrectly editing your registry can stop your PC from functioning and create irreversible damage to your operating system. In fact, one misplaced comma can prevent your PC from booting entirely! Because of this risk, we highly recommend using a trusted registry cleaner such as (Developed by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner) to scan and repair any converthelpersetup.exe-related registry problems.
Using a automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your converthelpersetup.exe error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage. The best part is that can also dramatically improve system speed and performance. Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, we DO NOT recommend editing the Windows registry manually. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. We do not guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To manually repair your Windows registry, first you need to create a backup by exporting a portion of the registry related to converthelpersetup.exe (eg. ConvertHelper):. Click the Start button. Type ' command' in the search box.

Windows XP Windows 7 Windows Vista There is a chance that your converthelpersetup.exe error could be related to a malware infection on your PC. These malicious intruders can damage, corrupt, or even delete EXE-related files. Furthermore, there's a possibility that the converthelpersetup.exe error you are experiencing is related to a component of the malicious program itself. Tip: If you do not already have a malware protection program installed, we highly recommend using Emsisoft Anti-Malware.

![Converthelper 3.2 Converthelper 3.2](/uploads/1/2/4/0/124082526/571080716.jpeg)
Tip: Although Disk Cleanup is a wonderful built-in tool, it will not completely clean up all of the temporary files on your computer. Other programs that you frequently use such Microsoft Office, Firefox, Chrome, Live Messenger, and hundreds of other programs are not cleaned up with Disk Cleanup (including some DownloadHelper programs). Because of the shortcomings of the Windows Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr) tool, we highly recommend using a specialized hard drive cleanup / privacy protection software such as (Developed by Microsoft Gold Partner) to clean up your entire computer. Running once per day (using automatic scanning) will ensure that your computer is always clean, running fast, and free of converthelpersetup.exe errors related to temporary files. How to run Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr) (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):. Click the Start button.
Type ' command' in the search box. DO NOT hit ENTER yet!. While holding CTRL-Shift on your keyboard, hit ENTER. You will be prompted with a permission dialog box. A black box will open with a blinking cursor. Type ' cleanmgr' and hit ENTER. Disk Cleanup will begin calculating how much occupied disk space you can reclaim.
The Disk Cleanup dialog box will appear with series of checkboxes you can select. In most cases, the 'Temporary Files' category will occupy the most disk space. Check the boxes of the categories you want to clean and click OK. Converthelpersetup.exe errors can be related to corrupt or outdated device drivers. Drivers can work one day, and suddenly stop working the next day, for a variety of reasons. The good news is that you can often update the device driver to fix the EXE problem. Finding the exact driver for your converthelpersetup.exe-related hardware device can be extremely difficult, even directly on the DownloadHelper or related manufacturer's website.
![Converthelper 3.2 crack Converthelper 3.2 crack](/uploads/1/2/4/0/124082526/354034300.png)
Even if you are experienced at finding, downloading, and manually updating drivers, the process can still be very time consuming and extremely irritating. Installing the wrong driver, or simply an incompatible version of the right driver, can make your problems even worse. Because of the time and complexity involved in updating drivers, we highly recommend using a such as (Developed by Microsoft Gold Partner) to automate the process.

Hello - Thank you for considering my request. My computer is infected with Adware that I have not been able to remove. The suspicious behavior occurs within the Firefox browser. When I try to open webpages, I am redirected to ad sites. I also have suspicious 'surveys' that include a voice asking me to complete them (usually related to a site I am on, but the surveys look very similar and the voice is the same).
One of the ads that often appears is a download for FLV player. Other ads are sometimes related to what I am doing or a search I have entered. I captured this url from one of the ad pages I was redirected to: I have tried the following:Comodo Cleaning Essentials, TDSS Rootkit Removing Tool, Super Anti-spyware, MalewareBytes and Hitman Pro.
All of the programs found some things and removed/cleaned them. But I still have the adware. I am running Windows 7 on a 64-bit HP laptop.

Thank you for the update. There is only 20 to 30 minutes (on average) to do all of this, as sone will take 1 minute and others about 5 minutes - Sorry for answering across ' Brandon Young' but if the Quick Tools are what I thought, they would be removed, and we do not want to work outside of the regular guide-lines.
If Brandon Young finds his solution among our usual 'Am I Infected' area solutions, I am more than happy for it to be posted, but if it is not within the guidelines that are Pinned above this area, and his rating is not Malware Removal Helper, or above, there are rules - Again - Sorry for being on the end of this and thanks for not complaining -. The instructions for posting to this topic specifically say not to post any logs, but to just post a description. Thank you very much for that in the first bit, but any person (like Cryptodan) is asking you just to help. As long as you do not post DDS / HiJackThis / ComboFix logs, all else are generally OK. These are the ones in Red under this forum area, but many do post other basic logs. TDSS Killer, Malwarebytes, and Super Anti-Spyware are programs that I would ask you to run.
If you do have logs from these, please post them here also. I will review what you have posted and if you can give me updates also as we go along it will help. Bleepin Madman and Aussie Addict - Thank you both. Sorry for misunderstanding the rules of what is allowed and what is not. I have done the recommended scans.
TDSS Killer found nothing, so there is no log. I updated and did full scans for both Malwarebytes and Super Antispyware and the logs are posted below. Malwarebytes found nothing and Super Antispyware found only tracking cookies (lots of them, but nothing else). I did some quick surfing this morning to test and did not get any popups. So maybe the problem is gone now.
I will use the computer this afternoon normally and see if I get anything unusual. I will post back later if I have any problems.
I really appreciate your help!
