MegaPlayer is not the right player that you should use when you want to listen to music or watch videos. The experts have all the necessary reasons to include this application to the constantly growing list of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). First of all, the most popular distribution method of this suspicious player may leave the clients unaware of its upcoming installation. MegaPlayer may travel in bundles alongside third-party free tools. The commonly 'Quick' setup process may not inform you adequately about additional components. Second, this player is not legitimate, which means you may face many performance errors. The third and most important reason not to keep this PUP on your PC is the impact it may have on the web clients. MegaPlayer may modify Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer automatically in a way that may benefit its developers but trouble the user. The questionable application may change the default homepage and search engine in an effort to boost traffic towards partners. After opening new tabs, you may notice a set of promoted sites instead of the pages you have visited recently. The PUP also may place vast amounts of pop-ups, banners, videos and interstitial ads in a significant part of the sites you load. Some of these commercial materials are highly questionable. They may try to obtain your email address or phone number by encouraging you to take part in surveys, or may transfer you to corrupted sites. The result of these ads on the browsers also may be unpleasant. The marketing elements may use a part of the system's resources, which may occasionally lead to freezes and crashes. Some users report that the built-in uninstall module of MegaPlayer may display errors, so you should use credible security software for the removal of this PUP.
