The Translation Buddy Toolbar may claim to be a useful application for one-click translations in over fifty languages, but it is created by the infamous Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. Security analysts classify the Translation Buddy Toolbar as adware that might change the design of your new tab page and load video commercials on your homepage. The Translation Buddy adware can be found at Translationbuddy.com and may travel in freeware bundles that may include riskware such as the My Way Search Assistant and Video Download Converter Toolbar. The Translation Buddy adware-powered Toolbar might change your default search aggregator to Ask.com and record your search keywords. Also, the Translation Buddy adware may use your IP address to detect your approximate geographical location, and generate tailor-suited ads to improve the chance of users following links to sponsored content.
Security analysts note that the Translation Buddy adware may read your Internet history, and share it with interested partners that want to provide users with targeted offers. The Translation Buddy adware may use banners and full-page ads to deliver marketing content from partners, and set a timer that would prevent users from closing the ads immediately. The Translation Buddy Toolbar might not be listed on the 'Programs and Features' list of your 'Control Panel.' Adware applications like the Translation Buddy Toolbar are known to place their executable in the hidden ProgramData system folder that may not pop up on security scans. The Translation Buddy adware is very similar to Translate Genius and the ConservativeTalkNow Toolbar and might use insecure third-party services to provide translations. Computer users should not depend on the translation provided by the Translation Buddy Toolbar for their official correspondence and press releases. Security analysts recommend users to eradicate the Translation Buddy adware with the help of a reliable anti-spyware utility.
