Top Media Player

Top Media Player is indeed more than just a media player that can playback your audio and video files; unfortunately, it may also expose you to potentially unsafe content through third-party advertising. Its presence on your computer may also indicate that a couple of malware infections have also infiltrated your system together with this application. Based on what they have experienced during testing, our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com have classified this software as a PUP, i.e., a potentially unwanted program. This is not a malware infection per se, but it does not mean that it cannot put your system security at risk indirectly either. In fact, it is possible that you let this PUP on board in a bundle that contains a number of malware threats. This could more seriously harm your system than this PUP alone. Although we cannot really complain about its playback abilities, we still think that you should remove Top Media Player if you want to be consistent about your virtual security. Read more »
