![]() Next, you’ll be asked to select an installation destination. After downloading the program, you will need to click on the setup file. This free software has a simple installation process, and don’t worry, it’s completely safe. The program has everything you need, all in one place. It also has a specific feature for converting YouTube videos into MP3s. Convert formatsĥKPlayer also boasts the ability to convert video formats into audio formats such as MP3. For example, it can stream videos and music from your Android to your PC. The program hosts a similar feature with a mixture of a DLNA server, DLNA renderer, and DLNA controller. ![]() The app is Airplay enabled which means that it can display contents from your iOS device to your computer. It can download from several different websites, including popular sites such as Vimeo, YouTube, Dailymotion, Facebook, MySpace, and Instagram. I'll be contacting my state's attorney general to look into the scam of a company passing off their malware as a video player.5KPlayer offers you a place to not only watch your favorite movies, series, and listen to your best tracks, but also a place where you can download new media. Avoid this malware like the plague! No legit media player would EVER display a persistent pop-up over the video you're watching, let alone refuse to let itself be uninstalled from your system. I had to "sudo rm -rf /Applications/5KPlayer.app/" from the terminal just to get the program out of Applications, but I still fear there may be obfuscated malware from 5KPlayer running in the background. There is something MAJORLY shady going on when all the contents of an app have been deleted, yet the system says the app is still running, despite this app not showing up in the Force-Quit menu, and not showing up from "ps -ax" in the terminal, unless it's very well obfuscated and hidden as a process not named "5k" or "player". This just SCREAMS "Malware!" Even the "CleanMyMac" program wasn't able to uninstall this piece of malware masquerading as a video player. ![]() I then tried moving the now-empty 5KPlayer app to the recycle bin, but the system wouldn't let me, prompting me with a message that somehow, despite the contents of the app being deleted, the app itself IS STILL RUNNING!!! Doesn't show up on the Force-Quit menu. So, I browsed the contents of the app, deleted the "contents" folder and everything it contained, and then emptied the recycle bin. This 5KPlayer malware wouldn't let me delete the app from the Applications folder. Easier said than done! Like others who have left honest reviews here, I ran into MAJOR headaches trying to get the 5KPlayer malware off of my computer completely. I figured, fine, I'll just delete this useless 5KPlayer riddled with adware. This pop-up advertisement appeared OVER-TOP of the video I was watching, and there was no way to close or dismiss this advertisement. When I tired to watch a video in the 5KPlayer malware, there was a persistent pop-up ad in the upper right corner of my screen to buy video conversion software. 5KPlayer took over ALL video associations without notifying me and without my permission, which is annoying and rude. ![]() I Installed the piece of malware known as "5KPlayer" on my Mac, after VLC failed to play a 1080 MKV.
