I have been using GOM player from a long time now for the obvious reason- its versatility. Recent update however, came with Pop-Up ad window which comes up when I exit and also it forcibly install unwanted Browser Toolbar (AVG or Ask in some versions).
I agree that when product is offered for free, they somehow need to earn something from Advertisements but these ads are quite annoying for the sole reason- they are irrelevant and not interesting. Here is a solution by which you can block or remove Pop-Up Advertisement on GOM player.
How to Block and Remove Pop-Up Ads from GOM Player
To Remove Popup, you just have remove the file responsible for creating this Pop-Up. And this File is located in Installation Folder.
Go to C:\Program Files\GRETECH\GomPlayer. It can be Program Files (x86) in case of 64 Bit Widows installation. Find the file named: popup.exe in this folder and delete it. Make sure you are logged in as Administrator to carry out this operation.
This is a permanent solution to get rid of pop-ups on GOM player but if you think that you may find something interesting someday on these ads then it can also be done. You can see the popup once a day by checking on “Don’t show any more ads today” at the bottom of popup window.
How to Remove Toolbar installed with GOM Player
Toolbar is forcibly installed on web browsers (Internet Explorer and Firefox) along with GOM Player. It may be AVG or Ask or any other which you may find useless.
To remove that, you should disable the addon (CTRL+Shift+A in case of Firefox) and change the default search engine of browser.
Complete removal then can be followed by uninstalling it from “Programs and Features” from Control Panel. There you will find an application name “AVG Security Toolbar” as in my case but can be Ask Toolbar in some other users.
You may have to perform these steps again when you update GOM Player to latest version each time. Same Trick will continue to work as long as they do not integrate Popups in main application.via[blogsolute]
