BeansPlayer is a small audio player that is created by an amateur programmer named Todd Bauermeister. You can find out more about the BeansPlayer music player at http://sites.google.com/site/beansplayer12/ that is a page hosted on the Google's Sites Platform. Mr. Todd Bauermeister offers the BeansPlayer software as a lightweight audio player that is an alternative to other lightweight media renderers like GOM Audio, AIMP3 and Boom by Peter Pawlowski. BeansPlayer is perfectly capable of loading MP3s, OGGs, AIFFs, and WAVs from your media collection for a smooth playback experience. BeansPlayer is offered for a free personal use and does not require a subscription to benefit from its features.

Computer users that do not remember installing BeansPlayer by Todd Bauermeister may have installed the program with a freeware bundle and may be infected with adware. We have detected that BeansPlayer is accompanied by adware such as 123HD-Ready and Ace Race. BeansPlayer is a safe program that you are free to use and play your music files, but Mr. Todd Bauermeister may be unaware that his program is bundled with adware. It is not the first time when clean programs are bundled with adware and digital currency miners like BitCoinMiner to generate revenue for their developers. Computer users that find BeansPlayer installed on their machines may experience redirects to pages like G-search.pro and Video-free24h.net that may offer misleading information and access to corrupted shareware.

The adware that piggybacks on BeansPlayer may decrease the performance of your Internet browser and load sponsored search results on Google, Bing and Yahoo. The links injected by adware associated with BeansPlayer may lead users to insecure pages and phishing portals that are copies of legitimate online banking platforms. It is recommended that users run a complete system scan with a trusted anti-malware suite in case they find BeansPlayer on their machines and experience unusual redirects.
