How to remove PDF Mighty

What is PDF Mighty

PDF Mighty is a software application that was initially promoted as a productivity tool for creating and converting PDFs, including converting files to editable DOC formats. However, it has gained notoriety for its less desirable attributes. The main issues with PDF Mighty stem from its classification as a browser hijacker and PUA. It can display intrusive advertisements, slow down device performance, and potentially lead to further malware infections. Users may experience unwanted browser redirects, changes to their homepage or search engine, and an influx of pop-up ads. The application is also known to be difficult to remove, often requiring specific uninstallation steps or the use of professional malware removal tools. It’s important to note that while PDF Mighty itself is not a virus, its behavior and the methods by which it spreads are characteristic of unwanted software.

How PDF Mighty infected your computer

PDF Mighty is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) due to the dubious methods used to distribute the software. It often infiltrates systems bundled with other software, without the explicit consent of the user. Once installed, it may promote the SearchMighty browser hijacker, which can alter browser settings and redirect searches to generate ad revenue. To prevent infections like PDF Mighty, users should:
