TranslateAsYouGo

Even if TranslateAsYouGo can act accordingly to the promises it makes, security-conscious users should not keep this adware application installed any longer. Possible negative effects of its usage will undoubtedly outweigh the positive ones. The program will annoy you with pop-ups and commercial offers that you will encounter every time you surf the Web. Besides, this adware application will require a lot of your system resources. It also collects even your personally identifiable information, and we think you should not tolerate such an activity. Therefore, you need to remove TranslateAsYouGo from your system.

This program is promoted as a tool that will help you translate any text you find online to your native language. But the chances that you will be able to enjoy this feature are not high. Even the official documents of TranslateAsYouGo state that it is “a shopping assistance service designated to enhance your online shopping experience.” So, it is highly unlikely that the adware application will provide you with any translations.

At the moment, this program affects only the users of the Mozilla Firefox Internet browser. TranslateAsYouGo installs an extension to that browser and displays commercial ads through it. You may even find some of those advertisements quite relevant. However, you should know that it is not an accidental thing as the adware program spies on you using various data tracking technologies. TranslateAsYouGo gathers your personal information as well, including your IP address and all the data that you provide voluntarily. The application states that all the collected information is used to customize the program to your interests and preferences. It should mean that TranslateAsYouGo will display commercial offers based on your online search preferences.

We have to warn you that any content you may encounter while using the adware application further is not completely secure. TranslateAsYouGo has no control over third-party vendors and merchants that use this browser extension to show you their offers. Any interaction with those offers is risky. Maybe clicking on advertisements will transfer you to some websites containing nothing useful for you. But you can also find yourself on some damaged websites created only for unlawful purposes. Your personally identifiable information may also be used for illegal purposes if some unreliable third parties receive access to it. That is why it is better not to use the adware application any longer.

To get rid of TranslateAsYouGo, you will need to manually remove the unwanted extension from your browser. It is quite an easy task, and you will accomplish it in a few simple steps that you will find provided below. However, we strongly recommend that you conduct a full system scan using a reliable antispyware program. Do not forget that your PC may already be filled with various unwanted applications and it is almost impossible to detect them all if you are not an IT professional. Only a trustworthy security tool will ensure the complete protection of your device. However, please remember that only the latest version of your antimalware software is capable of successfully defending you from all the recent online threats.
