The GreenPlayer browser plug-in is available for download on its official web page and is installed via freeware packages predominantly. However, users might want to know that the GreenPlayer plug-in is deemed as adware. Security researchers note that the GreenPlayer adware might work as a background process on infected machines and include a task to the Windows Task Scheduler to update its components automatically. The GreenPlayer adware may download and install third-party applications like FaceThemes and FriedCookie that could crash your browser and slow it down. The GreenPlayer adware-powered plug-in functions similarly to other adware like Vidx and might read your Internet history log, use tracking cookies and DOM storage data to generate tailor-suited advertisements. The ads brought by GreenPlayer may take the form of pop-up windows, banners, inline ads, full-page promotions and video commercials. Also, the GreenPlayer adware may redirect users to untrusted domains that could feature corrupted JavaScript and initiate drive-by downloads of harmful software. Security researchers reveal that the GreenPlayer adware might place its main executable in the Temp folder to evade security scans and manipulate Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Therefore, you might need the assistance of a renowned anti-spyware instrument to remove all files related to the GreenPlayer adware.
