What is FusionPlayer?
The last thing you want to install onto your operating system is some program incapable of providing you with beneficial services. FusionPlayer is that kind of a program, and, even though it is unlikely to be installed without your permission, you could be tricked into installing it. Users are usually tricked into thinking that this program will help them play media files and assemble them into playlists in the most fun and easy manner. Of course, this is not the case. To our knowledge, this program is just a PUP (potentially unwanted program) that has not ability to serve in any kind of way. Some users even choose to delete FusionPlayer as an advertisement-supported program because it is known to inject ads. All in all, regardless of which category you associate this program with, we see only one outcome.

How does FusionPlayer work?
FusionPlayer is a clone of QuickVideoPlayer. Even though these programs have different-looking websites, they are completely identical once installed. According to the research conducted by our Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers, these programs do not actually offer beneficial services. Even though they are supposed to help you create media playlists, both of them fail to do the most important thing: Play media files. This is the first reason why we identify them as potentially unwanted programs. The program has also earned the title of the PUP because it acts in a completely unexpected manner, which is showing online advertisements. Once installed, the PUP will inject ads into your default browser and its own interface. We have found that ads are shown on fusionplayer.com as well. Even though these ads might seem harmless, any interaction could lead to unwanted consequences.
The advertisements introduced to you by FusionPlayer could expose you to highly unreliable ads. In the worst case scenario, you could be tricked into downloading malicious programs. If that is not what you want, you have to be very careful about how you interact with suspicious ads. In fact, the best thing to do is ignore them completely. Whether you are introduced to installers, registration forms, surveys, or other kinds of offers, we suggest that you ignore them all. If you are not cautious, you could get yourself into big trouble, and that is not what you want, considering that it is your virtual identity that is on the line.
