How to remove OnePlayer (Virus Removal Guide)
OnePlayer (also known as One Player) is an alternative flash player for machines that run the Microsoft Windows operating system. OnePlayer is available as a free trial or full edition that is promoted for$9.95 USD. Antivirus and Anti-Malware products will detect OnePlayer as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) because it is known to infiltrate a computer system without user knowledge or by use of possibly deceptive marketing tactics. Others claim that OnePlayer may be entirely advertisement-supported.
The OnePlayer product was brought to our attention by a website Google has listed as malicious. We expected to receive a program titled SweetPlayer with bundled adware and a browser extension relative to online media as promised by the advertisement on the webpage, but instead OnePlayer Flash Player was downloaded and installed by itself.
This product is also promoted by dubious advertisements and freeware. In some cases this program is distributed by websites that are blocked by updated internet browsers such as Google Chrome.
Furthermore, if OnePlayer installed onto your computer without your consent it is likely that additional potentially unwanted programs or malware may be present on your machine.
