FusionPlayer is a fake video player that hides a very hard to remove advertising software. FusionPlayer is classified by many security programs as potentially unwanted. We say “potentially” unwanted, because even if there is a rare occasion in which a user installed it on his/her own accord, most of the cases are due to a couple of seconds of distraction for this program to install itself on many systems. Truth is thaat FusionPlayer is offered as a bundle with free software offered in certain download platforms. If the install process is not customized, FusionPlayer is easily installed, this is why is so important not to use the recommended options offered by default with freeware, plus we must always take our time and not going mindlessly clicking around “Next” buttons just to get over with the install processes we start.
Once FusionPlayer has been installed, it won’t take too long before you start seeing publicity tagged as Ads by FusionPlayer coming at you from all corners. This program also installs the already known adware called BrowserWeb, which will be on charge of the ad’s broadcasting. These ads will slow down your computer and will represent quite a threat for the privacy of any data and activity you do online. We strongly advice you to remove this program from the very first moment you notice these ads.
