MMUltraPlayer Removal Guide

We know that we have emphasized this countless of times, but if you want to avoid the likes of MMUltraPlayer, we have to tell you again: Please be careful when you download programs from unfamiliar sources. Although the possibility of getting infected with malware this way is not that high, there are far too many other potential security issues to ignore. You probably find it odd that such potentially unwanted programs (PUP) like MMUltraPlayer could be associated with computer threats, but we do urge you to remove it for a reason. No program should be allowed to remain on your system if it is not wanted.

You must have installed this media player on your computer accidentally. MMUltraPlayer is not a malicious infection so it cannot enter your system surreptitiously. These programs need user’s permission to be installed. You may say that you do not remember doing that, and we believe you. But you do not remember that because you must have installed it together with ScreenSnapshot, Advanced Calendar, InstantSupport, or any other PUP that can be easily found on file-sharing websites online. Of course, that also means that you have more than just one program to delete.

Some users may argue that there is no need to remove a program that is not malicious, but here, once again, we would like to counter that with: Does it really work, though? During our tests, we have found that MMUltraPlayer is really buggy and highly irresponsive. Even if a program can play video and audio files, it is not a kind of user experience you would want. Therefore, there is no reason to keep it.

Let us take a detour here before we reach the removal process and tell you about potentially unwanted programs. PUPs are called that because they are often hard to categorize, since they are not really malicious and yet there is barely anything good about them. Usually, PUPs are narrowed down by several criteria, which include: advertisements, commercial content, consumer opinion, privacy, and unwanted behavior. From this we can see that MMUltraPlayer certainly is a potentially unwanted program because the user opinion about it is negative, the program is borderline intrusive because it travels bundled with freeware, and it may also exhibit unwanted behavior by not living up to its promises.

Hence, any computer security expert would tell you that you have to wrap it up right now and uninstall MMUltraPlayer. You can do that through Control Panel, but we must warn you that some program files may remain unaffected by it. What to do? Follow the manual removal instructions we have compiled below for a thorough removal.

After that, get yourself a licensed antispyware tool that will help you scan your PC and locate other unwanted programs. As mentioned, PUPs often travel in groups, and if you need to deal with one of them, you most certainly have to deal with a few others. Finally, protect your computer from other threats by staying away from unfamiliar file-hosting sites. Do not click unknown pop-ups and other links that lead you to no man’s land. Employ safe web browsing practice and never hesitate to address a professional if you need any assistance.
