What is MMUltraPlayer?

MMUltraPlayer is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that certainly should not be installed on your computer. This application probably entered your system accidentally, and now that it has your undivided attention, it is time to terminate it.

Although the program cannot infect you with malware, there are many aspects of it that should not be tolerated. In this article, we will discuss the implications of keeping potentially unwanted programs on the affected computers, and we will also tell you how to remove MMUltraPlayer manually. Whatever you choose to do, you should remember that your computer’s security should be your utmost priority. test test

Where does MMUltraPlayer come from?

When we encounter a program, we usually try to find its source because that is one of the better ways to see if it is legitimate or not. Potentially unwanted programs fall under the grey category where they might have official websites, and they might not. MMUltraPlayer is one of those applications that do not have an official distribution source.

However, you can clearly see that it does not stop this player app from spreading around. That is so because such programs seldom rely on their official websites for distribution. Instead, they employ third-party installers from file-sharing websites to reach target systems. Our research suggests that MMUltraPlayer comes with DownloadMR bundles. DownloadMR is a domain that can be used for freeware distribution.

Since this PUP comes in bundles, it also means that you must have installed several unwanted programs on your computer already. If one freeware app climbs aboard, the chances are you might have several other stowaways too. From what we have found, we can tell that this PUP usually comes with InstantSupport, Advanced ScreenSnapshot, Advanced Calendar, Screentool, DealPly, and many other adware and potentially unwanted programs you should avoid.

If you are wondering how it would be possible prevent such software from entering your PC, the answer is: being careful and vigilant. Downloading freeware from unfamiliar websites is clearly not an option, and you REALLY must have some application, then you should read all the installation steps one by one. It is very likely that the installation wizard offers you to choose which programs you want to install, and you most certainly would miss that if you were to breeze through the setup.

What does MMUltraPlayer do?

Here we can talk a little bit about the original function of this application. As you can tell from its name, the program is a media player. It is similar to GU Player and MediaPlayAir, both of which are potentially unwanted programs, too. And what can we expect from a family of PUPs? Nothing good, obviously.

If you were to use MMUltraPlayer, you would see that the program is a low-quality media player. Sure enough, it can play your video and audio files, but the playback quality is highly doubtful, and the program’s interface is buggy and irresponsive. Thus, from that, we can see that the program is not as useful as it wants you to think it is, so there is no need to keep it on your computer.

Of course, there might be other security issues we should consider when we deal with MMUltraPlayer, but the point is that a potentially unwanted program like that usually points out a security issue, rather than being one. Let us say; it is just an undesirable side effect that should be eradicated at once.

How do I remove MMUltraPlayer?

Since this player is an actual program, you can uninstall it via Control Panel just like any other legitimate program out there. However, we have noticed that manual removal through Control Panel does not affect some leftover files that remain on your computer. That is why we will show you another removal method which, we hope, you will apply.

Aside from dealing with MMUltraPlayer, you should also terminate other unwanted applications. To find out which programs you need to erase, scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner. You will get a full list of potential threats immediately, and you will be able to protect your PC from harm.

If you think that manual removal is too tedious, you can always resort to removing programs with an automated antispyware tool. This will save you time, and will allow you to automatically safeguard your system against other intruders in the future.
