iFishPlayer Removal Guide

iFishPlayer is a new media player that enables you to watch online and off-line videos and listen to music; however, we have found some questionable traits that make this innocent-looking application a potentially unwanted program (PUP). It is possible that you do not even remember installing this program and it simply shows up on your computer. If you did not install it as a standalone file from its official website, chances are there are malware infections on your system too. While this PUP may not be a serious infection, it might indirectly expose you to unsafe web content, not to mention the related malware programs that can actually cause real harm to your PC. These additional threats are mostly the kind that you can notice right away, once they activate. Even if you have a legitimate version, we would still advise you to remove iFishPlayer from your system along with all the other possibly related infections. If you read our article, you will find out more about this PUP and the potential risks it might hold for you.

There are basically two ways for this media player to reach users. First, you can get a legitimate copy if you download it from the official website at iFishPlayer.com. Unless you have proper protection, i.e., an active security tool, you can download the software without any issue. However, some antimalware programs already detect iFishPlayer as a PUP and warn you about it. That could be the first sign that this application may not be as innocent as it seems, and probably it might start acting undesirably. This is only confirmed by the fact that this PUP may be found in free software bundles together with adware programs and other potentially unwanted applications. That makes iFishPlayer rather suspicious because by traveling with such company, it may bring unpleasant and potentially dangerous “guests” to your “home.” If you downloaded this PUP from a third-party freeware site, you had better delete it and check your computer for malware threats before it is too late.

We have discovered that this player is practically an identical clone of NewPlayer and Fast-Player, which we have already covered on our website. These programs are all the same: They want to make money by displaying promotional information, advertisements, and offers for third-party products. The legitimate version can play several file formats, including mp3, mp4, avi, flv, wav, and more. You can also “create mixed playlists with PC and Internet video clips, including YouTube and Vimeo videos.” However, these third-party ads might be unreliable and you might end up on unsafe websites by clicking on them; and you certainly do not want that to happen. Therefore, we think that you are better of removing iFishPlayer from your system.

If you have made up your mind and would like to put an end to the exposure to this PUP, we are here with the solution for you. Since this questionable program has an uninstaller, you can easily remove it by uninstalling it through Control Panel. Please use our instructions below if you do not have an idea how to do that. But this may only be the first step towards a clean computer since there may still be other malware threats on your PC. If you do not address this situation as soon as possible, you may have more security issues before long. Therefore, we advise you to download and install a proper security tool that can protect your computer from all known malware infections.
