Even though PlayThru Player is a free program, our research team does not think it is a smart idea to install this program on your operating system. It is most likely that you were offered this freeware when downloading other programs. As you probably know, it is risky to trust software bundles, because even the most harmless programs could be packaged along with malicious ones. In this case, PlayThru Player is the harmless program that could come bundled with malware. If that happens, you need to remove the malicious programs without any hesitation. Of course, this report was created to help you delete PlayThru Player, but we touch on the removal of malware as well. If you are curious, please continue reading.

Our researchers recognize PlayThru Player as a potentially unwanted program (PUP), and there are several different reasons for this. First of all, this program is not a useful media player, and most users have no use for it. Second, this PUP can show advertisements. It can be difficult to say if these ads that show up will be reliable, which is why we advise against clicking on them. Note that advertisements could also show up on your browsers if other ad-supported programs were installed on your PC. It would not be that surprising to find PlayThru Player installed along with other ad-supported programs, considering that its developers are known for creating adware. Shop with Boost is another one of the programs that you might have to remove from your operating system.

Have you found a process named "playthru player.exe" in the Task Manager? This is the process that launches PlayThru Player, and it starts working right when you launch your operating system. If you terminated this process, the suspicious player would be disabled until the next time you turned on your computer. This suggests that if you want to remove PlayThru Player, it is not enough to terminate the processes associated with this media player. The same goes for Skyrocket Player, which is a media player that is identical to PlayThru Player. We recommend removing both of these programs because they are equally useless.

Whether you have downloaded PlayThru Player from it official site, playthruplayer.com, or bundled with third-party programs, you should be able to delete it using a few simple steps that even inexperienced users can handle. Of course, just to be on the safe side, it is wise to install a malware scanner to make sure that you do not need to remove PlayThru Player leftovers. If the scanner detects files associated with this PUP, find and delete them as well. When the discussion turns to the removal of third-party programs installed together with the PUP, we believe it is best to use a security tool that can scan your operating system, determine which programs are malicious, and delete all threats automatically.
