How to remove FPMPlayer from Mac

What is FPMPlayer?

The main problem with this virus is that it secretly enters the Mac system and changes browser settings without permission (the address of the home page, new tab and / or default search engine, to the address of some fake search engine). While FPMPlayer is in your Mac, it monitors all actions, which means that all these changes cannot be reversed.

Virus is an adware application because it displays ads (coupons, banners, polls, pop-up ads) in order to make redirects after you click on an ad. Often, users click on ads unintentionally, because various ads literally fill the entire screen and through they do not see the information they need.

When users click on these ads, they are taken to questionable pages or dangerous unwanted downloads or installs. It is necessary to remove FPMPlayer from the device.

Software writers, in turn, release patches and updates to get rid of the known vulnerabilities and lesser the chance of malware penetration. Antivirus program’s signature databases get updated every day and even more often to include new virus signatures.
• Download and use uBlock Origin, Adblock, Adblock Plus or one of the similar trustworthy extensions for blocking third-party advertisements on web-sites.
• Don’t download software from unverified web-sites. You can easily download a trojan (malware that pretends to be a useful application); or some unwanted programs could get installed along with the app.
• When installing freeware or shareware, be sensible and don’t rush through the process. Choose Custom or Advanced installation mode, look for checkboxes that ask for your permission to install third-party apps and uncheck them, read End User License Agreement to make sure nothing else is going to get installed. You can make exceptions for the aps you know and trust, of course. If declining from installing unwanted programs is not possible, we advise you to cancel the installation completely.
