Do you know what Termblazer is?
Termblazer is an adware application that poses as a legitimate application that makes searching and translating information very easy. However, it displays unreliable third-party advertisements that could hardly be trusted, since the legitimacy of the ads cannot be verified. The infection might look like a useful tool, but its shortcomings far outweigh its advantages. This article is dedicated to discussing the dangers of having Termblazer on your computer. Hence, our researchers recommend that you remove this infection as soon as possible.
The application has its own promotional website that has been set to showcase how innovative the application is. However, there is one little problem: the program cannot be downloaded from the website, since it does not have a download button. If you want to check the website for yourself, go to Termblazer.com.

The application does look useful and fully functional. You can highlight any text in the browser window and the program will open a small window that features tree tabs. The first tab provides results from Wikipedia, which is actually quite useful. The second tab features a translation tool, which is not a bad feature either. The third tab features a Thesaurus, but the tab did not work at the time of our testing, so nothing can be said about that.
But regardless of its rather useful functionality, the application still remains an infection that you should remove, because it displays unreliable various pop-ups, in-texts on all web pages that you visit. This is quite an alarming state of affairs due to the fact that the advertisements displayed by Termblazer are mostly supplied by shady advertisers who promote misleading and fake advertisements. Usually, fake advertisements contain download links to more adware applications. However, it can also promote downloads for Trojans, spyware, and all kinds of other malware. Note that such malicious software will be very difficult to remove even for well-known anti-malware scanners.
In conclusion, the application might be useful, but the fact that it is ad-supported makes this application unreliable. This seemingly harmless program could cause you a lot of trouble, because the content promoted on its advertisements is not subject to any regulation. So it is possible for shady advertisers to promote malware downloads that could infect your computer with very dangerous malicious applications. So do not hesitate, and remove Termblazer from your computer before it jeopardizes your security.
