Beware these free tools – they may be hiding ransomwareNeed to convert a file quickly? A free online tool sounds perfect—until it isn’t.

The FBI warns that some free file converters are hiding malware or ransomware. You get your converted file, but behind the scenes, your system might be compromised.
