MedPlayNew is promoted as a useful program that enhances your experience as you are watching videos on YouTube and similar websites. This may sound like a beneficial service, however, malware experts classify MedPlayNew as adware because it can be quite intrusive and will inject numerous pop-up ads in the web pages you view. The program is compatible with Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla and other commonly used browsers.
How Is MedPlayNew Distributed?
If you haven’t installed the program on purpose and see pop-up ads, deals, coupons and offer labeled “Ads by MedPlayNew” or “Powered by MedPlayNew” anyway, you can be sure that the adware has entered your PC via bundled downloads. PUPs are often installed with other software you download online but since they are not properly disclosed you may not even notice their presence until it’s too late. Tо stop additional programs from entering on your computer, it is important to select the Custom installation options.
What Does MedPlayNew Do?
Once installed, MedPlayNew will deliver more than the advertised functionalities. The program is ad-supported and injects numerous third party ads in the websites you visit. Banners, coupons and deals may come in handy especially if you plan on purchasing something, but experts warn that clicking on them is not advisory, because you may land on unsafe web pages and infect your machine with malware.
In order to provide the user with advertising content that matches his interests, MedPlayNew may track the browsing history, IP address and other non-personally identifiable information on the affected computer. Many adware programs share the collected data with third parties for marketing purposes.
