Who is Babylon BHO?
Babylon is a computer dictionary and translation program, developed by Babylon Ltd., an Israeli public company. When a user clicks on text using the right mouse button or combination of the right mouse button and a keyboard modifier, the Babylon window appears with a translation and definition of the clicked term. Babylon is a tool used for translation and conversion of currencies, measurements and time, as well as for obtaining other contextual information. Babylon has a patented OCR technology and a single-click activation that works in any Microsoft Windows program, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Excel, Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader. When activated, Babylon opens a small popup window that displays the translation or definition. On 7 August 2010, Microsoft antivirus products identified the software application as malware (identified as Adware: Win32/Babylon) due to potentially intrusive behavior. Sixteen days later, on 23 August 2010, Microsoft announced that Babylon Ltd. had modified the program and that it was no longer categorized as malware.
