Overview
PlayOn is a program developed by MediaMall Technologies. The most used version is 4.3.4.18436, with over 13% of all installations currently using this version.

A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is PlayOn.exe. The software installer includes 53 files and is usually about 33.42 MB (35,040,577 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10.
