Can’t Remove MixVideoPlayer ads? This page includes detailed ads by MixVideoPlayer Removal instructions!

MixVideoPlayer (by SoftForce LLC.) tries to pass as a legitimate online application. However, the fact MixVideoPlayer causes various issues, threats and dangers, proves that to be a lie. You should know better than to trust hackers when they advertise malicious programs. Classified as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP), this pest is certainly not something that belongs on your machine. MixVideoPlayer is even more dangerous than it’s annoying. The problem is, it’s extremely annoying. You do the math. According to this program’s developers, MixVideoPlayer will help you mix videos from YouTube and other similar websites thus, ultimately, enhancing your Internet experience. Unfortunately, the virus starts wreaking havoc the very minute your computer gets infected. The longer you keep it on board, the more malicious the parasite becomes. It’s very ill-advised to have ANY kind of parasite on your machine, isn’t it? Keep in mind that MixVideoPlayer was originally developed by hackers to serve their purposes. And you could be absolutely positive that crooks’ intentions greatly mismatch yours. Thanks to a browser extension the virus sneakily installs, all your browsers are now infected. “Brought to you by MixVideoPlayer”, “Ads by MixVideoPlayer”, ”Powered by MixVideoPlayer” – whatever similar text or label you see on the PC screen, you’re in danger. This program comes for free which means its creators need to use other methods to make money. The ads come in rather handy in this department. Being ad-supported, MixVideoPlayer helps hackers gain profit online through the dubious pay-per-click mechanism. In order to gain revenue, cyber criminals are willing to flood your PC screen with commercials in various shapes on a daily basis. The never-ending parade of advertisements includes a rich bouquet of pop-ups, pop-under ads, banner ads, interstitial ads, video ads, etc. Apart from covering every single website you visit, these unwanted (not to mention, unsafe) commercials seriously jeopardize your safety. MixVideoPlayer doesn’t discriminate between real and corrupted ads so it generates both kinds. You know what happens when you click a malicious commercials, don’t you? Option one is to install malware automatically. Option two is to get involved in a cyber scam and purchase a non-existent product thus losing money. Which scenario sounds better? If your answer is “neither”, delete the virus. MixVideoPlayer constantly exposes you to malware, bombards you with pop-ups, slows down the PC speed and, just to top it all, spies on your private information. Even though the virus mainly steals browsing-related data such as search queries, passwords, usernames, etc., hackers might get free access to some personally identifiable information as well. This causes the immense threat of identity theft and other equally serious privacy problems. Did you need a reason to get rid of the parasite? It gives you plenty.

How did I get infected with?

In case you often download software off of the Internet, you should definitely check out the programs one by one. A notoriously popular infiltration method at the moment is freeware/shareware bundling. Stay away from illegitimate websites and their illegitimate programs. Always pay close attention to the software you install; otherwise, you might accidentally install a whole bunch of infections alongside the safe programs. Opting for the Custom option instead of the Basic one allows you to remain in control of your machine. If you fail to spot and deselect a potential threat, you have no one to blame but yourself. Remember, there is a reason why you should also read the Terms and Conditions or EULA (End User License Agreement) before you accept anything. Don’t you think you should be aware what exactly you accept? Another popular virus distribution technique is the one offered by spam messages or spam email-attachments so make sure you avoid those. Compromising the computer only takes about a minute; however, deleting a virus later on might turn out to be a very time-consuming, tiring thing to do. To sum up, don’t take unwarranted risks online and be cautious in order to protect your safety, privacy and nerves.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Immediately after it lands on board, this infection installs a browser extension or an add-on which is compatible the three of the most commonly used browsers out there. It injects Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer with commercials so now none of your browsers is reliable. No matter which website you attempt to visit, no matter which browser you prefer to use, the pop-ups will be there waiting for you. However difficult it might be to avoid them, though, you have to stay away from the ads. Their goal is to generate web traffic towards potentially malicious websites, not to help you save time or money.
