x3 player search results

Most likely you’ve heard of X3Player (or X3 Player) after downloading a movie from a fake torrent and when trying to play it you got the message “In order to view this movie you need to download and install X3Player from play.x3player.com”. Do not visit that website to download the supposedly most powerful media player that will decode all movies, because you’ll end up paying for being infected with a malware. If you visit play.x3player.com you’ll see they sell X3Player for “only” $1.98, but the only bargain you’ll receive is an infected computer.

X3Player might be a variant of other malware codec/media players such as 3wPlayer, DivoCodec, X3Codec or DomPlayer. These previous codecs/media players actually installed malware on a users’ computer, and they were advertised in the same manner as X3Player (meaning when trying to play a fake .avi file you could only play a few seconds, as the rest was “unlockable” only by downloading their malware codec).

However, if you went ahead and paid to obtain this player, you should immediately download an anti-spyware program such as Spybot Search and Destroy or SUPERAntiSpyware and scan your computer for possible malware infections. If you gave your credit card information on play.x3player.com, you should verify if other unauthorized charges show up on your credit card, and if so take action.

There are plenty other free (and reliable) media players out there, that come with preinstalled codec packages and by using those you won’t have any problems playing an .avi file, so there’s no need to continue your quest on finding a cracked version of X3Player (or X3 Player). One such free media player is VLC Media Player by Videolan, and even if it’s not the only free media player (actually open source) is one of the best out there.
