Threat Database Adware Express Player

Express Player

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The Express Player is a media utility that may allow users to play MKV, MP4, and DivX file formats with high resolution and optimal audio settings. Express-player.com advertises the Express Player as the best player for beginner computer users that do not want to tune their media player to play 1080p and 720p videos correctly. The main selling point of the Express Player is that users need to, simply, drag and drop the media files in the Express Player. However, the Express Player from Faglaro Enterprises Limited is recognized as adware because it is designed to launch with Windows and show ads in the browser of users that installed it.

Security investigators note that the Express Player is free to use, and users may be welcome to donate funds via Paypal to enjoy updates, but the Express Player is supported by advertisers as well. The Express Player is very similar to the BR Media Player and the Skyrocket Player and may install a browser plug-in to load ads from sponsors on the pages you load in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. Moreover, the setup file of the Express Player might be detected by security scanners as SoftwareBundler:Win32/Dartsmound and include third-party applications. The Express Player may be accompanied by other adware like Everysale and ByteMovie and increase the time it takes Windows to load. The Express Player adware may read the Meta tags of pages you visit and use your IP address to generate tailor-suited ads. Security investigators remind users that it is not wise to follow links by the Express Player adware because you may load a harmful Web page that is rigged with the HanJuan Exploit Kit and risk losing data. Computer users should remove the Express Player with the help of a reliable anti-malware tool to mitigate the risk of a security breach.
