Softonic review

Sends your Firefox searches into overdrive

Anything that can prevent the need to do more copying and pasting is fine by me. Hyperwords does exactly that allowing you to search, spell check and translate with a simple right click.

Hyperwords is an extension which installs itself into your Cmd-click or right-click context menu. Just select any word or phrase in some text and a menu appears, containing searches, references, blogging, emailing, copying, translation, and more in a single click. There are several main options - Search, Reference, Shop, Share, Copy, Translate and View.

Within these, are several sub-options that allow you to search Wikipedia, Amazon, translate the text, share on Facebook and Twitter and much more. It's a wonderful extension for anyone who needs instant access to Twitter, shopping sites and translation sites without leaving the web page they are on. Perhaps the only downside is that the menu can be a little obtrusive when trying to access other elements in the context menu and sometimes slows down the speed at which the menu appears.

Hyperwords is an excellent Firefox extension that will soon have you wondering how you lived without it.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
