VidPlusMediaPlayer (Vid Plus Media Player) is another questionable media player like many others, including NewPlayer, KeyPlayer, MyRadioPlayer, and more. Just like similar media players, VidPlusMediaPlayer generates pop-up advertisements on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer after it is installed and is detected as cross-browser adware by most security products. Furthermore, once potential VidPlusMediaPlayer malware has been contracted the advertisement-supported program will begin to access user browsing data and will use the data to serve targeted advertisements it feels the user is susceptible to click on, as well as for other marketing purposes.

This means in order to remove ads by VidPlusMediaPlayer it may be necessary to uninstall additional items and remove additional browser add-ons and extensions from affected internet browsers.

Another thing to be aware of is that potential VidPlusMediaPlayer malware is sometimes mistakenly referred to as the “VidPlusMediaPlayer virus” by misleading security blogs designed to scare the public into purchasing their affiliate software. You do not need to purchase software to remove this particular adware. VidPlusMediaPlayer is adware and is not defined as a computer virus; However, potential VidPlusMediaPlayer malware can bundle with additional adware, unwanted programs, and malicious files that may introduce users to other unwanted activities and threats.
