What is eTranslator?
Though eTranslator is promoted as a tool that translates the highlighted text from English to Russian, and vice-versa, it is in fact an adware application. We advise you to remove this tool because, besides providing you with a translation service of questionable quality, it will start flooding your Internet browser with Russian ads, and thus expose your computer to the Internet-based infections in the process. Developed by eTranslator Corp, eTranslator is a Russian application that you will not find as functional as its English counterparts, hence avoid this suspicious tool and rely on such services you already know like Google Translate.
What does eTranslator do?
Both eTranslator and the official site etranslator.pro where you can download the application are entirely in the Russian language; so, if you are not a Russian speaker, nor a learner, you might probably want to bypass this tool. If you do not work with Russian, there is no reason at all not to delete this application from your computer. This translation function is merely a gimmick which is employed to entice users to install eTranslator on their computers; the main objective of this application is to redirect you to the promoted third-party sites.
Once this eTranslator is on your system, whenever you browse the Internet web pages, no matter whether they are English, or Russian, it will start spamming you with advertising material in the Russian language. You should hurry up to remove this translation tool if you do not want to be to be distracted by foreign content which is completely irrelevant to your needs. Also, remember that clicking on these intrusive advertisements might lead you to Russian sites that might be unsafe and contain malware.
Where does eTranslator come from?
If you opened the official site etranslator.pro, it is highly likely it would be automatically blocked by your browser as malicious. It should be enough to convince you that this is a potentially dangerous tool that should be delete on sight. Still, it does not guarantee that eTranslator will not find another entry to your machine; as it is already know, most of unwanted and potentially dangerous applications rely on the distribution method of bundling to reach their target computers. Avoid downloading any unfamiliar software from suspicious third-party websites and always give preference to the custom installation so that you could see what extra applications are trying to slither into your system. If you have already noticed some Russian advertisements on your browser, it is a sign that eTranslator is already here, therefore do not waste any time and remove this malicious adware application immediately.
How do I remove eTranslator
We do hope you have finally decided to delete eTranslator. It will not be a problem because you can find and terminate this application in the program list of Control Panel. When you terminate eTranslator there, the browser extensions should be erased as well. However, we would encourage you to rely on automatic antimalware removal tools which detect potentially dangerous content on your system and remove it automatically.
