TubesPlayer is a useless ad-oriented application, which may insert many misleading pop-ups. It also recommends bogus PC optimization programs, which may cause various problems. All in all, TubesPlayer will most likely not benefit you in any way, and may ruin your surfing sessions. You should not agree to install it to spare yourself the upcoming issues. Unfortunately, Lamphouse Media, LLC, which is the developer of this adware, spreads it in a very confusing manner. The questionable application travels combined with other programs with a free license. This bundling method may mislead the less experienced PC users. The 'Quick' installation menu, which is the most popular choice, may not inform you properly that there are supplementary components besides the main application. You should know that this adware doesn't affect solely your default web client. Instead, it injects pop-ups, banners and interstitial ads in all available browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. TubesPlayer sometimes relies on a very deceitful tactic to make the users click on the ads. For example, you may notice a fake YouTube video, paused at an interesting moment. If you click on it, the video will not launch as you will simply be redirected to affiliate platforms. The adware also promotes Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) like Reimage that don't offer any reliable features but urge you to purchase the full license. The accumulation of commercial materials by TubesPlayer in the websites may cause functionality problems with the browsers like occasional freezes and crashes. A particularly annoying issue is that you may be unable to delete the adware manually. You should use powerful security software to fix your Internet clients.
