How to remove IPTV Player from your browser
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is IPTV Player?
We have examined the IPTV Player application and found that it is an advertising-supported browser extension that shows intrusive advertisements. In most cases, users install (or add) adware inadvertently since it is often promoted and distributed using questionable methods. Our team discovered IPTV Player on a shady web page.
IPTV Player in detail
Advertisements shown by IPTV Player can open untrustworthy websites and cause unwanted downloads and installations. Those ads can lead to shady pages asking to enter sensitive information (e.g., credit card details, passwords, ID card information), promoting potentially malicious apps, urging visitors to call fake technical support numbers, etc.
It is also known that sometimes advertising-supported apps can read sensitive information. Having adware that can access such information added to a web browser can cause problems like identity theft, monetary loss, inability to access various online accounts, etc. Thus, it is highly advisable not to trust apps like IPTV Player.
| Name | Ads by IPTV Player |
| Threat Type | Adware |
| Symptoms | Your computer becomes slower than normal, you see unwanted pop-up ads, you are redirected to dubious websites. |
| Distribution methods | Deceptive pop-up ads, free software installers (bundling), fake Flash Player installers, torrent file downloads. |
| Damage | Internet browser tracking (potential privacy issues), display of unwanted ads, redirects to dubious websites, loss of private information. |
| Malware Removal (Windows) | To eliminate possible malware infections, scan your computer with legitimate antivirus software. Our security researchers recommend using Combo Cleaner. |
More about adware
There are advertising-supported apps that hijack web browsers. They change the default search engine, homepage, and (or) new tab page to promote a specific shady search engine. Search engines of this kind can generate misleading results, display dubious ads, show results generated by other untrustworthy search engines, etc.
Examples of other apps that display ads are Weekly Stock Loader, Download Checker, and OneBlock.
How did adware install on my computer?
IPTV Player is promoted on a shady website offering to update extensions added to the Chrome browser. IPTV Player gets added to a web browser after completing the steps provided on that page. Also, this app has its official page.
In other cases, users install adware via software bundles, deceptive ads, fake installers, etc. When installers contain adware, they have "Advanced", "Custom", or similar settings. Users install adware when they finish installations without changing those settings.
How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?
Download applications from reliable sources (official websites and verified stores) only. Do not trust ads on dubious pages or agree to receive notifications from pages of this kind. Check downloaders and installers for unwanted offers and deselect them before downloading and installing software.
Scan your computer for unwanted apps regularly. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
