Zoom Player Removal Guide

Users who want to watch videos in HD tend to install the media player called Zoom Player on their computers. In most cases, they get it from its official website zpdownload.info; however, there are also users who complain that this software has sneaked onto their computers without permission. The majority of people decide to keep this software even though they do not download it themselves because it seems to be very beneficial. Researchers who have tested Zoom Player have noticed that it advertises itself as “the most powerful, flexible, and customizable media player.” The application is compatible with Windows OS, and it seems to work quite well, so we understand why so many users keep it installed. To be honest, it is not very good to let this application stay because it is known to be a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This means that there is a slight possibility that it will act in an undesirable way. To find out how it might act on your PC, read this article from beginning to end. We are sure that we will help you to decide whether or not to keep Zoom Player.

The application itself is targeted at users living in the United States, so it is not surprising that there are so many U.S residents who have this application installed on their computers. People usually do not even suspect that Zoom Player is a potentially unwanted program because it looks good and works well. Of course, it is not very likely that it is capable of converting all the videos to HD; however, the application really opens different music and video files. Even though it acts as it should, we still suggest being very careful with this program. It is because specialists have found that this program might install Trojan.Downloader (a serious infection) alongside and thus download other malicious applications on the system without permission. As you probably understand, these threats might quickly cause harm to your computer. If you do not want to risk infecting your system with malicious software, you need to remove Zoom Player as soon as possible.

If you do that, we are sure that you will restore all the changes this potentially unwanted program applied. First of all, its main folder Zoom Player will disappear from %ALLUSERPROFILE%, %APPDATA%, %USERPROFILE%, and %PROGRAMFILES% (%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%) directories. Secondly, you will open the Registry Editor and will not see any registry keys this program created anymore. To be more specific, its registry keys HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Zoom Player, HKLM\Software\Zoom Player, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall will disappear after you delete this program. We will tell you more about Zoom Player removal further in this article.

Even though Zoom Player can be easily downloaded from zipdownload.info, there is no doubt that it might also sneak onto computers rather secretly because it might come in software bundles together with other applications. In most cases, these bundles can be downloaded from file-sharing and other similar third-party websites. Unfortunately, not all the users know that an additional program will be installed on their systems, which is why many of them find the presence of Zoom Player quite surprising. Keep in mind that Zoom Player is definitely not the only program that travels in software bundles. Therefore, we highly recommend that you install a security application on your computer in order to prevent those additional threats from slithering onto it.

Zoom Player itself is not a very dangerous application; however, it is still better to remove it because it might download and install threats on your computer. The application itself can be removed from Control Panel (instructions you will find below will help you). Unfortunately, the Trojan.Downloader this PUP installs will not leave your system. Therefore, we highly recommend scanning the computer with a trustworthy antimalware scanner in order to eliminate all those additional threats. Download the antimalware scanner SpyHunter, upgrade it, and scan your system. We are sure that it will leave your system clean within seconds.
