What's making my RealPlayer downloader open?

13 years ago

Every time I log on here, my RealPlayer downloader opens, and appears to be downloading something with this site in the title...what's that all about?

Yesterday I kept getting multi-layered pop-up ads as well.

Grrr....!

I've been getting "movie" JcPenney ads in the last few months (though this hasn't happened in the last few weeks)

Have you scanned your computer for viruses and adware/malware? You can download some of these programs for free(check cnet.com for the available downloads). I've used Malwarebytes and adaware before to scan for adware, plus my standard anti-virus program.

And if you are running firefox...try downloading the adblock plus extension. Makes life much more pleasant. I don't object to the idea of ads...but sometimes they contain viruses and the moving ones irritate me. So I run abp.

well you can actually buy a cd in a music store and then make copies of it and that would be yours, or you can buy the music at online music stores like amazon, google music or play store now, or sites like Rhapsody. Amazon MP3 Rhapsody

If this has just started and on 2 computers it is unlikely to be any error with your computers. Have you checked the file where the downloads get stored to see if they are coming in but the small box notifying you fails to appear? Assuming your downloaded files are in the Documents/Download file.... Right click Start, click Explore in the pop up Click the small plus sign beside Documents (My Documents?) on the left side Now look underneath Documents for Downloads Click on this to highlight and look on the right side to see if the latest downloads are listed.

Maybe you can right click the book file and select "Open with", if that option is available and then find Windows Media Player. It does sound like a mess. Don't think you need to uninstall MusicMatch Jukebox. You could also open WMP, click file/open, and go find the book file. I have no idea why you'd need a MP3 player to the computer via the USB cable to play it.

I attend several different Zoom meetings. I've not had to download anything. I just click on the link that is provided to join a meeting. I also host a couple of meetings. I've created an account on the Zoom website, and schedule a meeting(s), then send the link to the attendees. They click on the link to join.
