How did I get infected with?

If you somehow ended up with this virus on board, chances are, you don’t remember installing it. That’s because cyber parasites normally prefer to apply some much more sneaky and secretive techniques to get downloaded. Take bundled freeware or shareware, for example. How many times have you agreed to install an entire package of programs at once without paying attention to the individual programs in the bundle? Most PC users do so quite often, certainly more often than they should. You see, this puts you in an immensely vulnerable position because unless you select the Advanced or Custom option beforehand, you will not be able to remain in control of the software that gets installed. This way you might accidentally agree to download a rich bouquet of infections including annoying browser hijackers, nasty Trojans, vicious ransomware parasites, etc. Never rush the installation process and don’t fail to deselect any intruders on time. You know, it’s much easier to deny the parasite access instead of having to uninstall it later on. Some of the the oldest tricks in the book still work quite effectively so make sure you stay away from random third-party commercials, spam messages and spam email-attachments. Clicking any of them could easily cause you a headache so don’t underestimate the numerous threats circling the Web.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As we established, Quicky Translator exposes you to malware. And it wasn’t supposed to. When you check out this program’s website, you remain oblivious to the great number of issues it has in store because no hacker is polite enough to let you know you’re about to install a parasite. The virus installs its malicious browser extension without bothering to search for your permission first. From this moment on, the endless range of pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, hyperlinks, interstitials, video ads and so on is about to completely take control over your browsing experience. Did we also mention that Quicky Translator is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome? Because it is. Once this parasite infects all your browsers, the parade of commercials will be generated on every single website you attempt to visit. The ads are very intrusive and quite stubborn so if you want to be able to see your PC screen again, you will have to deal with the parasite itself. However, the commercials are not only annoying. They are also sponsored which makes them incredibly unreliable so  don’t even think about trusting any web link displayed by the parasite. You will either fall victim to a nasty syber scam and lose money or you will directly install more malicious programs. There’s always the slight possibility that you will find some real and safe ad. However, the odds are never in your favor when it comes to parasites. In addition to the possibly corrupted commercials, this nasty adware program also sneakily monitors your entire browsing-related activities so hackers could sell it thus gaining even more profit at your expense. We assume that you wouldn’t appreciate having your private data sent to the wrong hands. Are we correct? Hackers would not hesitate to make money out of your browsing history, passwords and usernames, search queries, pages visited, etc. so whatever monetizing system they prefer to use, the outcome will not be beneficial for you. To put an end to the pile of threats and issues Quicky Translator brings upon you, hurry up and get rid of this pest before it gets completely out of hand. In order to help you do so manually, we have prepared a detailed removal guide down below.
