Snail Translator Removal Guide

Snail Translator is an application that should help you translate texts from/to different languages. It even claims on its official website snailtranslator.com that it is the fastest and lightest translator. Actually, this is the main reason why users download, install, and decide to keep this application on their computers. We cannot blame them because this software really seems to be a trustworthy one at first sight. On top of that, it really works, i.e. it translates texts. Even though it is not a completely useless piece of software, we still cannot say that it is fully reliable. According to the specialists working at 411-spyware.com, it is a very bad idea to keep this application installed. We will explain to you why it is so further in this article and you could decide yourself whether or not to keep Snail Translator installed.

Even though Snail Translator works as it should, there are several reasons why this software cannot be trusted 100%. First of all, researchers have managed to find out that this software downloads and installs its malware module from analytic-report.com the moment it sneaks onto the computer. Then, it starts displaying pop-ups similar to those that are shown by the Windows OS. These pop-ups say that users have to activate their Windows within 1 day:

Activate Windows now

You Must activate Windows within 1 day to continue using all Windows features

There is also a number (1-888-479-3649) provided at the bottom of the message – it is claimed that it is possible to activate Windows by phone too. We do not recommend dialing the provided number. In fact, you should not even try to contact the “technical support” because these pop-ups are fake. In addition, cyber criminals that hide behind this number might steal personal information (e.g. name, surname, address, bank account number, etc.) and even force you to pay money for the nonexistent software that should fix all PC’s problems. These cyber criminals might even connect to your PC using the Teamviewer software or via the supportforme.com website. Of course, they will tell you first that this is necessary to do that in order to validate the copy of your Windows OS. Researchers say that you might even receive huge bills because 1-888-479-3649 might not be a toll-free number after all.

As you can see, Snail Translator is definitely not the best application because it tries to convince users to contact the “technical support” by displaying fake pop-ups. In addition, it is quite disturbing that it downloads and installs the module of malware. Researchers working at 411-spyware.com are not very surprised that this application works like that because it is a clone of a well-known application Quicky Translator. In addition, it is very similar to Free Youtube Downloader and Book Source, which are not the most trustworthy applications either. It is up to you what to do with Snail Translator; however, in our opinion, it would be best to eliminate this software from the system. Continue reading if you do not know how to do that.

The majority of potentially unwanted programs have their official websites and Snail Translator is no exception; however, it is still known that it might sneak onto computers rather secretly because it is distributed in software bundles too. These bundles are usually available on third-party web pages promoting software, e.g. softonic.com and the like. Stay away from such web pages in the future if you do not want to cause harm to your computer. We highly recommend installing a reputable security tool on the system too.

Snail Translator can be deleted via Control Panel; however, it leaves its folder on the system. You will have to erase it yourself. In addition, there is a slight possibility that other questionable programs have been installed alongside Snail Translator too – it would be best to take care of them as well. The quickest way to make sure that they are gone is to scan the system with SpyHunter. Its free version can be downloaded from our webpage.
