干掉Viewpoint Media Player

　　不知什么时候就发现了系统里有了个Viewpoint Media Player的东东在TM的安装目录里，因一直都没有空，也就没有深究。今在清理系统盘时发现不只TM的安装目录有这东西。程序目录，用户数据目录都有。就查了一下，发现还不是什么好东西。

　　查到的一些资料：

QQ2006贺岁版（或者QQGame软件）安装其间没有任何明显提示!不经用户同意即暗中安装 (通常默认路径是:C:\Program Files\TENCENT\AdPlus文件夹），就算你将QQ安装在其他文件夹，AdPlus文件夹仍然被安装在C:\Program Files\TENCENT下，让你无法察觉。其内含5个文件:主程序:Runner.exe,数据文件:Stdtbh.dat,相关dll: IEHelp.dll,TCtrl.dll,守护dll:SSAdr.dll)!同时在删除QQ后，该文件夹中的文件并不同步删除~！！

  一:不清楚腾讯这么做有什么意义....
  二:并不是主文件,完全可以打包成选装组件的,却要强制安装....
  三:珊瑚虫,飘云，狂人等版本未能幸免。。。。

解决办法：ViewpointKiller清除Viewpoint Media Player的工具。Viewpoint Media Player是一个广告软件，会不时地从IE和桌面上弹出广告窗口。

 

Viewpoint Media Player是一个Adware，它周期性的在你的桌面弹出广告窗口，吞噬你的宝贵带宽资源。Viewpoint Media Player被捆绑于常用的即时通讯软件中，即便你卸载了它，它也还会再次安装。ViewpointKiller这个免费的小程序将帮你彻底根除这一顽症。

也有人说是什么3D秀播放器，反正我对那东西没有兴趣。

　　在任务管理器里没有Viewpoint Media Player的进程，也没见过Viewpoint Media Player弹出什么窗口。我基本上很少时间用IE。不过既然它是个不知什么来头的东西，又没有经偶同意就装上了，一定要干掉。在添加删除程序里有Viewpoint Media Player的卸载，运行后，程序目录里的Viewpoint Media Player消失了。又运行了一次ViewpointKiller，应该把那不请自来的东西请出去了。
