How to remove Web-MediaPlayer?

What is Web-MediaPlayer?

Web-MediaPlayer is in no way the player you’d like to use on your system, and with good reason. This inconspicuous (and mundane-looking) bastard of a player will be more than happy to drop a trojan-or-two for it’s makers’ amusement and your vexation. Once this happens, all hell is likely to break loose, since trojans have this Murphy-ish tendency to make a nice and daisy-infested passage for other spyware, adware and whatnot to use as an entry point, so they can enjoy the hospitality your system is sure to provide.

I’ll spell it out for you: do NOT download Web-MediaPlayer – it sucks and must die. If you have it – remove it immediately.

As soon as it infects your system, Trojan Web-MediaPlayer gives COMPLETE control over your system to a hacker using the Trojan, who may cause serious damage to your system. A Trojan may alter your desktop or add undesirable shortcuts to various commercial and marketing sites; Web-MediaPlayer is no exception. It may create a backdoor to your system, allowing the hacker to control your system and steal your personal information. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojans like Web-MediaPlayer do not reproduce by infecting other files nor do they self-replicate and each new victim must run the infected file.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Trojan such as Web-MediaPlayer?

Slower System Performance: Most Trojans are not optimized and coded very poorly, which causes your system to become unstable, slow and unreliable, as such Trojans are constantly running in the background.
Slow internet connection: Trojans are constantly using your internet connection to send your private information to remote servers, as well as receive data from third party servers, which causes much slower internet connection speed and overall connection instability.
