'Please Install the New Video Player' Pop-Up

Posted: April 8, 2014

'Please Install the New Video Player' is a fake pop-up message that may be used to download and install various potential security threats including potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), adware and browser hijackers on a computer. If the misleading 'Please Install the New Video Player' Pop-Up alert is displayed on the computer system, this may mean that the PC has been already infected with adware or other security infections. The phony 'Please Install the New Video Player' notification may include the title'Sponsorship' that may be linked to adware and other PC infections. The bogus 'Please Install the New Video Player' Pop-Up may show up on the PC when visiting commercial websites or legitimate websites that have been compromised. Computer threats connected with the fraudulent 'Please Install the New Video Player' Pop-Up message may modify the default homepage, search provider or a new tab page with unreliable websites, or constantly reroute PC users to suspicious websites such as a potentially questionable video website Tvchannel157new.com. If the PC user decides to download a file that, in actuality, may be covered as an update for a Video Player or Media Player by clicking on the links or button in the notification, he may unknowingly agree to download and install additional PUPs or adware onto the computer.
