Downloaded Media Player Classic and got a virus... Help!?

Go to your control panel, and there you can click add/delete programs and delete everything you don't need. The installation installed a few dumb things that slow down your PC. I only download from cnet.com or download.com (which are the same website).

Ignore those talking about how windows is junk. Apple products suck and they always will.

Downloaded Media Player Classic and got a virus... Help!?

Yesterday, I dowonloaded "Media Player Classic" thinking there were no problems with this software, no viruses, etc.

Once I dowloaded it, in about an hour or so, a task bar popped up under my url box, and everything began to run soooo slow!! My sister plays on Bearville, a kid's...

Download and run a scan with Malwarebytes, and check Add/Remove Programs to see if anything you didn't install was added. If that doesn't take care of it, you're going to have to take it to a local shop, since it's beyond the average user's ability at that point.

Make sure you download from legitimate sites. MPC is a legit program, but if you download from "free-cool-software.com" you're just asking for trouble.

Edit: Ignore the freetard and multiple mactards below.

btw why are you using Windows i mean tell me WHY you have to run windows instead of anything else btw you have more than ONE other option if you didn't know

HAHAHAHAHAH looks like you didn't read through the installer hold on im going to install it myself on a NON WINDOWS o/s hold on it won't take long unlike your slow computer with a search bar now hold i WILL edit this very soon!!! give me 3 minutes!!!

NOPE that was NOT from media player classic if i downloaded the program you donwloaded

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpc-hc/files/MPC%2... that search bar is from something else

btw i don't EVER get viruses and a don't run a mac and like i said i don't run windows either but i can't learn for other people you just have to learn on your own

MAC - A - FEE haha macs are a FEE hmmm well Linux isn't haha btw i agree with mike

It's probably windows because most people that use windows don't have a clue what they are talking about. Don't download junk from random places. McAfee is horrible and doesn't need to be in quotes. And you probably have compaq or HP so you should definitely take it to someone. That or throw it away and get a Mac.

guess you didn't use microsoft offical site - did you or were you talikng about this on cnet

why didn't you use mywot to ck the site r save it to you desktop and use scan with before loading it

I would think about doing a system restore to an earlier point in time. Google how to do this.

Very informative and it offers me better insight on this topic
