KMPlayer often displays pop-up ads to harass you? How to stop the pop-up ads? This post will provide a detailed removal guide to solve your problem completely.

The Information of KMPlayer

KMPlayer is a potentially unwanted Media Player. Some computer users complain that the application often shows commercial ads when they watch videos. Besides, the pop-up ads cannot be cleaned up easily. You may wonder how the pop-ups come into your computer. In fact, the ads are caused by adware programs. When you install KMPlayer onto your computer, you will get extra unwanted programs installed as well. As far as I know, the KMPlayer installer generally contains the installations of TidyNetwork, Common Dictionary and OptimizerPro. As soon as these three unknown programs enter your machine, they will make modifications to your system start-up items.

Afterwards, these suspicious programs alter browser homepage, search engine and toolbar. When you launch the KMPlayer to watch videos, these three programs will send commercial ads to you. Though KMPlayer, TidyNetwork, Common Dictionary and OptimizerPro are not as dangerous as Trojan horses, they can take up a lot of system resources by adding junk files to the PC. In consequence, your computer performance is slowed down. In a word, KMPlayer is not a reliable media player that will cause chaos on your computer. If you want to stop the pop-up ads completely, you will need to uninstall KMPlayer and the other three unknown programs from the operating system.
