King Translate - How to remove

King Translate is a translating software that lately many computer users have reported as an unwanted application. It was designed by Koyote-Lab Inc. The reason why the program is being reported is because of a bunch of problems it brings to the users. First of all, it infiltrates into computers without any warning. Usually, it is added to some legitimate application and uses simply don’t notice downloading it.

Once inside, King Translate modifies your Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome settings. It changes your homepage (usually to searchnu.com) and also replaces your default search provider. This is not only irritating but can bring up other issues. Your searches becomes less effective as the program tends to add plenty of sponsored websites to your search results. What is even worse, King Translate can record your activity on the Internet. It can easily get access to your login information (including your passwords), your IP address, the websites you are visiting and so on. Revealing this information can compromise your security and for this reason it is recommended to remove King Translate.

If you want to avoid installing useless applications like this one, you are are highly recommended to be more careful with your downloads that you get from the Internet for free. Always check if the program offers downloading additional components. Very often they are installed automatically if you don’t deselect this option at the steps of installation of the main program.
