MyPlayerHD.net

By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

The myplayerhd.net pop-up invites computer users to install the supposedly legitimate open source flash player Lightspark with the message 'Your download should start automatically if not click here'. The message underneath explains that the installation will be managed by the legitimate InstallPath Download Manager. The myplayerhd.net pop-up would appear on Windows machines despite that the Lightspark player is only for Linux systems. However, the file hosted on the myplayerhd.net is not the legitimate InstallPath software. Security researchers found out that there are other domains such as myplayerhd.org and myplayerhd.com that use the same web design and promote the same software. It could be concluded that the people behind myplayerhd.net, myplayerhd.com and myplayerhd.net are the same. The myplayerhd.net pop-up is generated by adware on your system that aims to promote a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) or potentially harmful software. If you are presented with a pop-up window linking to myplayerhd.net, myplayerhd.org or myplayerhd.com, you might want to avoid clicking on it. The adware responsible for the pop-ups by myplayerhd.net, myplayerhd.org and myplayerhd.com, can be removed from your system with the help of a reputable anti-malware solution.
