What is MPlayerX?

Where does MPlayerX come from?
You can quickly download the program at mplayerx.org. The website makes it seem as though this player has been created by a non-profit organization, since the application does not cost a thing. However, nothing comes free these days, and there is a reason you do not need to pay for MPlayerX: This application supports third-party advertisements. Third-party commercial advertisements can inadvertently expose computer users to malicious content.
What is more, it is highly probable that you have installed MPlayerX onto your machine without even realizing it. The application might have arrived bundled with similar freeware applications, which just proves that you should scan your computer with a licensed antispyware tool and remove all the potential threats at once.

Unfortunately, user complaints worldwide and various antispyware scans say otherwise. MPlayerX clearly displays commercial advertisements that do not allow the affected users to browse the Internet properly or operate their machines the way they are used to. It is clear that you should remove MPlayerX from your computer in order to restore the previous order.
