What is TipMediaPlayer?

TipMediaPlayer is an adware application that tries to make users think it can provide them with a list of useful functions and services. Unfortunately, the program is more of a nuisance than an actual service provider. It is associated with multiple adware apps and potentially unwanted programs that could lead to a system downfall. You are strongly encouraged to remove TipMediaPlayer from your computer as soon as possible. While you are at it, it would also be a good idea to terminate other unwanted applications. For that, you can scan your computer with a licensed antispyware tool and delete them automatically.

Where does TipMediaPlayer come from?

There are quite a few ways for this application to enter your computer, but in practice, adware programs manage to get installed on target computers in two major ways. First, they may be downloaded from their official sites accidentally. Second, they may come bundled with freeware applications, downloaded from a third-party website.

Both methods are obviously employed by TipMediaPlayer, as the application is available for download at its official homepage. The site is located at tipmediaplayer.com, and if some users come across this website accidentally, it would not be surprising if they downloaded the application, thinking it could provide them with decent media player services. Alas, we are not so sure the application can help you with that. Not to mention that if you download it from the official website, there is a good chance quite a few other unwanted applications might tag along.

For instance, during our tests, we have found that the official installer for this program bundles Search Known, MyPCBackUp, Yoursearching.com, and many other potentially harmful applications. That is not something one would expect of a reliable program. Therefore, already from this point on it is obvious that you cannot trust TipMediaPlayer.

Another distribution method involves downloading freeware applications from third-party websites. If you download freeware on a regular basis, you must have noticed that there are quite a few websites that offer to download specific applications. You have to keep in mind that third-party sources often host installers that contain several applications in one. Therefore, you might have installed this adware program accidentally when you downloaded some other program. To be absolutely sure that you do not have more unwanted applications on-board, you should run a full system scan with a reliable antispyware tool.

What does TipMediaPlayer do?

Now that we have established that this application is no good when it comes to its “official” functions, we should check what this application does in reality. As you can probably tell, the program is closely related to online advertising. This application can collect data on your web browsing habits and then expose you to custom commercial content.

It would not be such a problem is all of that content were safe. Alas, such adware applications do not check whether the third-party content they promote is safe or not. As a result, you are left alone to deal with whatever consequences you may experience.

How do I remove TipMediaPlayer?

It is obvious that this application is very annoying. It does not live up to its promises, and it also exposes you to potential malware. Computer security experts always point out that a severe exposure to commercial third-party content may result in a malware infection. That is not to say that this adware program is a malicious infection by itself. We are merely trying to say that you have to be careful because danger might be lurking behind every corner.

Please follow the instructions below to remove TipMediaPlayer from your computer. If you recognize more unwanted programs in the list of installed applications, be sure to terminate them as well. Also, we would like to remind you that the most efficient way to deal with potential computer security threats would be deleting them with a legitimate computer security tool.

Should you encounter any difficulties while trying to terminate all the unwanted programs, do not hesitate to contact us. We are also ready to help you find out more about computer security options, and how it is possible to protect your PC from harm.
