MediaPlayerRS is a potentially unwanted adware program. It’s malicious and intrusive, not to mention, harmful. The application slithers its way into your system by means of slyness and finesse, and once it latches on, issues start piling up almost instantaneously. The first one you’ll encounter, which will probably be the most obnoxious one you’ll face, will be the never-ending stream of pop-ups the tool will continuously throw your way. Every single time you try to use your browser, the program will bombard you with pop-ups. The flood will commence shortly after infiltration, and will cease after you delete MediaPlayerRS altogether. If you decide not to and allow it to stay, you’ll most certainly regret it as the vexatious ads will be the least of your worries. For one, due to their incessant appearance, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl. Also, you’ll start to experience frequent system crashes. Furthermore, the tool’s pop-up are highly unreliable. If you click on even one just once, by choice or accident, you will unwillingly agree to install more malware on your PC. Do yourself a favor, and ignore the ads no matter how enticing they seem. But the problems don’t stop there. What’s even worse than the malware threat the tool presents you with, is the grave security risk it places upon you. MediaPlayerRS spies on you in an attempt to steal your private information and hand it to strangers with agendas. Are you going to allow that to happen? The choice is yours.

How did I get infected with?

MediaPlayerRS resorts to the usual trickery in order to gain access to your system. The program relies on the old but gold methods of invasion and prays on your naivety, haste, and distraction. More often than not, it sneaks in undetected by hitching a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because, for some reason, users tend to believe that if you rush its installation process and skip reading the terms and conditions, there will be no consequences. Well, they are wrong because they are. If you don’t know what the program is asking you to agree to, and still make the conscious choice to agree to it, there WILL be repercussions. And, they’ll be highly unpleasant. Be more careful, don’t rush, and always take the time to familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions! You won’t regret it! Other preferred ways of infiltration include hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites or pretending to be a bogus system or program update. For example, Java or Adobe Flash Player. Never forget that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of troubles tomorrow.

Why are these ads dangerous?

MediaPlayerRS’ selling point is that it helps you enhance your media experience. However, the reality is quite different from the advertisement. This program does NOT help you but harms you. The negatives far outweigh the positives as its usefulness is highly overrated. Once you look past the sugary layer of marketing, it becomes evident that this is nothing more than a ploy. The application’s primary objective is to use you to make money, not help your media experience. That’s why it floods you with so many pop-ups. MediaPlayerRS is ad-supported, and its existence relies on its ability to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the people behind it. Each ad you are tricked into clicking on produces profits for these individuals, and, thus, helps it proceed with its operations. However, whatever yo do, do NOT click on these ads! If you do, all you’ll have to show for it is more unwanted malware slithering into your system. Unfortunately, as was already mentioned, the malware threat won’t be your biggest worry. MediaPlayerRS jeopardizes your privacy as it starts to spy on you as soon as it invades your PC. It keeps track of your browsing activities and catalogs your every move. When it determines it has collected enough data from you, it sends it to the people behind it. After your personal and financial details fall into the hands of these strangers, they can use them as they see fit. Are you willing to take such a colossal gamble for such a worthless program? It’s up to you to decide.
