I wrote this article to help you remove Online Video Promoter. This Online Video Promoter removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Online Video Promoter, also known as Media Player, is meant to help users increase the number of ad views on videos. Though, when investigating deeper, it appears that the program works in a different way, thus it is considered as another intrusive adware application, which is capable of flooding your browser with numerous commercial advertisements that might seriously threaten your system security. As this advertisement-supported program is compatible with the major web browsers – Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, it is responsible for all the commercial pop-up advertisements which appear on them.

Similarly to the most adware applications, Online Video Promoter is so skillful that it can make you download it without even realizing it. In most cases, the adware enters your virtual machine bundled with other freeware and keeps its presence in secret until the multiple adverts start showing up on your monitor. Actually, this is not unusual at all, because freeware usually travels bundled with malware as this is the easiest access point to the system. For that reason, computer users should be very careful when installing new software on their machines and read all the terms and conditions provided by the setup wizard of the program.

In fact, after the installation of Online Video Promoter on your PC, multiple processes called WinPL.exe will be added to your Task Manager. Besides, all these processes will be connecting to funwithvids.com website constantly and they will certainly slow down the performance of your virtual machine. If you want to avoid this from happening, you should not keep Online Video Promoter on the system.

Once installed on the system, Online Video Promoter provides you with multiple commercial adverts and intrusive pop-ups while you’re browsing the web. The main problem with these ads is the fact that they often contain links which might redirect you to corrupted websites and could seriously threaten your personal security. Besides, some of these websites promote suspicious installers that are filled with unknown programs which could cause harm to your OS. Still, in case your virtual machine does not get infected with malware, it might become slower and experience frequent system crashes instead, which would be rather annoying for you.

Apart from flooding your monitor with all these numerous commercial advertisements and making your PC slower, Online Video Promoter is capable of monitoring your virtual activities and recording your browsing history. Once the adware collects enough data about you, it starts providing you with customized advertisements which are related to your virtual interests and preferences in order to make you open them. Every click you make brings profit to the third parties hiding behind the program and continues its existence.

Keep in mind that Online Video Promoter is an advertising-supported application, meaning that every ad you click on, gains profit for the third parties hiding behind this program. At the same time, all the information that Online Video Promoter collects about you could be used for malicious purposes. Thus, you should ignore all the provided commercials the moment they pop-up on your monitor. Also, you must erase Online Video Promoter infection from the system without any hesitation as this is the only way to terminate the intrusive ads.
