PlayThru Player is a desktop video player with adjustable transparency setting that does not need a web browser to play YouTube videos. Although it may sound like a useful application, our malware specialists at Anti-Spyware-101.com have found certain traits that make PlayThru Player a potentially unwanted program (PUP) instead of a beneficial one. This does not mean that this PUP poses a direct threat to your computer, but it does, however, have a potential to harm your system indirectly.
