This unwanted tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or identity theft. Clicking ads displayed by MediaPlayerplus can result in high-risk malware infections.Īs well as generating deceptive ads, this bogus browser plugin tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording pages read, movement from page to page, web requests, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser information, application numbers, referring pages, cookies, geographical locations, date/times, and other information.
This plugin adds no real value and generates intrusive third party ads ("Ads by MediaPlayerplus") including, for example, sponsored links, coupons, deals, shopping comparison, content suggestions, banners, pop-ups, and pop-under advertisements.
While such functionality may seem legitimate, this browser extension is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application. The MediaPlayerplus (or Media Player Plus) browser add-on claims to save time and money when shopping online.
