This site has a lot of annoying ads, many with flashing and moving text. More importantly I strongly suspect this site is a source of malware. After I submitted my comments about their ads on their feedback form, I was re-directed from their site and infected with malware, a well-documented exploit "Error #268D3" which spoofs a Microsoft website and says "Your computer has been blocked". The text goes on to say that my information has been compromised such as my email, FaceBook account and credit card. I had to install MalwareBytes to clean it up. Also if you Google "SpanishDict" and "malware" there are lots of reports of malware from this site. I did not mark this site as dangerous on WOT because I still use the site (and don't want to bypass the warning every time I use it), but I have adblockers and take other precautions. The malware in this case may have come from a hacked PHP feedback form or an ad on the site that injects malicious code.

Great translation/conjugation site for all things Spanish. Offers accents, verb conjugation, bilingual translation, and even resorts to three other translators (Microsoft, SDL and Prompt) if it can't find what you're looking for. Runs articles on Spanish learning and lifestyle, and has a fairly active forum community. Great presentation too. My favourite online dictionary.

Warning: This site has well-documented, ongoing problems with recurring infections and/or infected advertisements. The site operators are apparently more interested in advertising revenue than keeping their users safe. On 9 August 2012, this site (or one of its auto-loading advertisements) automatically redirected to FakeAlert malware sites. I was able to reproduce, personally observe, and confirm this. I informed the site admins and they claimed they couldn't reproduce it but blamed their advertisements. Rather than remove the suspected ad code from their site, they left it in place and tried to pass the burden of researching the problem onto their users (most of whom probably have no experience with malware research or HTML code analysis). I searched Google for this domain plus the word malware and was surprised to see that this is an ongoing problem and that there have been several past incidents when the site or its ads have tried to infect users, including 13 days ago when a user said they had been redirected to malicious pages "a couple times" in the past month. Incidents have also been reported 9 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago, and 3 years ago. There have probably been other infection incidents; these just came up in the first two pages of search results. The incident from yesterday wouldn't have been publicly documented at all if I weren't writing it up here on WOT. I strongly recommend using other translation sites that are safer to use. For example, ***** is a good, safe alternative if you just need to translate words or sentences between English and Spanish (or other languages).
