Viralix Video is a questionable media player whose download might be promoted by a broad range of websites. Our research shows that users might be offered to install the Viralix Video player by pop-ups that mainly appear on shady websites. Installing the Viralix Video player isn't dangerous, because our analysis showed that this media player isn't a high-level threat. In fact, Viralix Video isn't associated with malicious behavior at all. However, it may be the cause of a number of potentially unwanted system modifications such as:

  • Inject advertisements in the user's web browser.
  • Create a system service that automatically starts with Windows and checks for Viralix Video updates.
  • Modify the web browser's default search engine and homepage.

These changes aren't dangerous, but they may be performed without the user's knowledge, and this is behavior that we consider to be annoying. The Viralix Video player may use questionable marketing techniques, and the fact that it is ad-supported gives users another good reason to keep this media player away from their computers. If you see unknown advertisements in your web browser, or if your home page was suddenly changed, then the installation of Viralix Video may have caused these changes. Users who've installed this software are advised to remove it immediately, and scan their computer using a reputable computer security software suite.
