The Marvelsound software is offered to Windows users that like to listen to music with style. Marvelsound is presented as a sleek music player that has more than just a pretty interface. The Marvelsound media player is advertised at Marvelsound.com as a powerful audio organizer and render. Computer users can download and benefit from Marvelsound for free according to the official information on Marvelsound.com. The Marvelsound application can be used to catalog your audio records and orchestrate your favorite music pieces into a handy playlist that is only one click away. If you are sold on the Marvelsound software, we have a few things to say that you may want to consider before installing the media player. Marvelsound is recognized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities and AV vendors flag its installer package as:
- W32/NewMalware-LSU-based!Maximu
- PUP.Optional.MarvelSound
Additionally, the installer is signed by a company named Genesistyle Ltd., which does not have an official page on the Internet. The Marvelsound program is developed with the founding of advertisers and users should expect to see a number of promotional materials shown within the Marvelsound player and through the browser. The following excerpts from the EULA that comes with Marvelsound should be taken in into consideration when you decide to install the audio player:
'The license granted to User, through these Terms, permits use of the MarvelSound Software Application during an unlimited period, at no cost. The MarvelSound Software Application may be used as many times as you like, for as long as you like. The license allows video and/or audio advertising messages to be displayed during User’s use of this “Free” version of the MarvelSound Software Application.'
'The MarvelSound Software Application is supported by advertising revenue and may display video and/or audio advertisements or promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the content of information accessed by User, questions answered by User or other information, in the sole discretion of MarvelSound.'
Computer users might want to seek a better alternative to Marvelsound that does not push advertisements on the screen. There is nothing wrong with a freeware creator trying to monetize some of its work but the way Marvelsound collects information to facilitate targeted marketing is not transparent. The EULA of Marvelsound does not provide information to users what type of statistical data is collected and who has access to the data. This is disconcerting, and you might wish to remove the Marvelsound player with the help of a credible anti-spyware tool.
