Zoom Player Removal Guide

Do you know what Zoom Player is?

Zoom Player is a media player that can be downloaded from zpdownload.info or another source. It is quite popular among users who play videos and listen to the music. We suspect that users tend to download and install this application on their computers because it claims to be “the most powerful, flexible, and customizable media player.” We agree that this media player looks beneficial at first sight. In addition, it works quite well, i.e. it opens different media files. Even though it looks good and works beneficially, there is still a risk that this program will act in an undesirable way. Therefore, specialists have decided to put it into the category of potentially unwanted programs. We will explain you further in this article why it is so. We are sure that some users will decide to eliminate this program from their systems after reading how Zoom Player might act, which is why we have prepared the manual removal instructions as well. Feel free to use them if you decide that it is better not to keep Zoom Player installed.

Potentially unwanted applications are not extremely bad programs; however, they might start acting in an undesirable way. In case of Zoom Player, specialists have managed to find out that it might download and install some kind of Trojan.Downloader on the system without permission despite the fact that it acts the way it should (i.e. it plays media files) and seems to be reliable. This Trojan.Downloader will be used to download and install other infections on the system. Of course, this will be done behind a user’s back. People who live in the United States should be especially careful because this software is primarily targeted at them. Unfortunately, you might have it installed even if you have downloaded it yourself because this piece of software might sneak onto computers in software bundles.Zoom Player Removal GuideZoom Player screenshot

Of course, malware might perform all kinds of other activities as well. To reduce the possibility of encountering malware, you should delete Zoom Player and then install a trustworthy security tool on your computer. If you do that, potentially unwanted programs like Zoom Player and much more serious threats will not manage to sneak onto your computer ever again. Of course, you should not download software from unreliable third-party websites too because it is known that Zoom Player and other suspicious programs are spread in software bundles mainly.

Some users do not even notice when Zoom Player enters their systems because it might not even inform them about that. If you do not know whether you have this program installed too, you should check your Desktop. If you find the shortcut of Zoom Player, there is no doubt that this player is installed. What’s more, you will also notice its folder in such directories as %PROGRAMFILES% (or %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%), %APPDATA%, %ALLUSERPROFILE%, and %USERPROFILE%. Moreover, users will also see new registry keys if they open the Registry Editor and go to HKLM\Software\ or HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\.
