Zoom Player by Inmatrix Media Solutions is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that you should not install. This questionable media player may cause countless problems, due to which the majority of PC users prefer to delete it shortly after the installation. Most of the issues are not directly related to the performance of Zoom Player. This application may be able to open various audio and video files formats. The problem is that this PUP may interfere with all present Web clients in a negative manner. The license of Zoom Player is free, so its developers claim they need to use online ads to cover their expenses. However, most of the PC users find these unwanted commercial materials to be very aggressive. Whenever you launch Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, you may detect too many pop-ups, banners and in-text ads. When you change from one site to another, you may notice ads that cover your whole screen and block the loading of the page. This approach is called interstitial advertising. The coupons and banners may seize a large area of your screen. They may overlay some essential site buttons as well. Since some of the ads may contain multimedia elements, your browsers may start working too slowly. It is possible for you to experience freezes and crashes if you open a few tabs at once. Zoom Player also may change your homepage and default search provider automatically. The experts advise you to ignore the sponsored links for security reasons. Some of the partner pages may turn out to be harmful – they may offer you corrupt software or trick you into calling fake technical support agents. The developers of this PUP may include it in software bundles. If you install third-party freeware without reading the details during the installation process, it may load Zoom Player alongside itself. You may end up finding some errors if you try to delete this questionable media player manually, so you should do it with a professional security tool.
