Remove Real Player by RealNetworks

Real Player is a software program developed by RealNetworks. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. 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 setup package generally installs about 27 files and is usually about 40.22 MB (42,176,171 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 10. Most users that have installed this software come from the United States.
