Is It Safe To Download Qvod Player?
I am a frequent user of Tom365 (P2P program which allows you to download the latest movies for free) since few months ago. The reason I used it is because it can simply bypass the downloading limit cap by Streamyx. I installed it in my Hostel’s PC & everything seems to be running smoothly. So later on I purchase a new PC at home, & when I wanted to download the Qvod software, this message popped up in front of the screen :
Gosh, 499 trojans? Holy cow! Trying to recall the time when I downloaded Qvod player back in my hostel, my PC seems to be loading slower than usual, could it be the cause of problem?
So Qvod user, does it have any effect on your PC? Or you just don’t bother at all? If you haven’t download the player I would suggest you to change your player to another alternative such as Thunder (Xunlei)
WOW!!! luckily I come across your post
. I was just about to download qvod player to watch free movies at china website. well.. perhaps I need to look for a new website for them 
but thanks anyway for your post 
Hi I dont seem to have such problem after 1 month.
However, it might be because i use free Yahoo anti -spy on the toolbar and Avast anti viral which are excellent to catch and remove these Trojans.
Best of all, both are free!!
I’m using this program for a while now, according to my antivirus (NOD32), there’s no malware or trojan found. Download the Chinese version of the program if you can.
I have used Qvod – it works very well without viruses (i run 6 security softwares, so I’m well covered anyway).
However, it does change your registry settings and doesn’t uninstall very cleanly. Furthermore, the language support is appalling…
unless u download qvod player at the other site, i think it is ok ( i’m also the one of the users)
so, if u want it, pls download at http://www.qvod.com
any u guys know how to remove qvod player coz i can’t seem to uninstall it..thanx!
hello to you people out there…QVOD player is 110% safe to download & to use it if you ought to ask me (not just me but millions of other folks around the world that pimpin chinese websites). NYChinatown
Guys, Qvod is not the only software that can give you access to real free movies! Here’s a website(although it’s in Chinese, you can use Windows Live toolbar or Google Tollbar to translate it) http://www.xunlei.com/ It’s not legal, though.
QVOD is all right,but someone adds trojans to it when they give you a way to download it .
Omg!! after i read this… and i think about it… and… Look wat i Found!!!!! u can Unstall it!!!
After you use Qvod, you might notice that your Internet Explorer homepage has been hijacked to a Chinese website. If this happen, try going to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\NetAgent.dll
and deleting this file.
Thanks for the tip. However I did not see this file in my path. I only see extend.dll and qvodextend.dll which are both related to qvod so I deleted them. So far I still have the Chinese website as my homepage.
Can you help some more?
Thanks
I agree with some of you… I have used qvod in my pc and it was ok (except the Chinese website becoming my homepage
) I have scanned my drive and didn’t find any viruses (touch wood!). But strangely after using it for sometime it is not loading anymore for me whenever I try to watch any show. Anyone has any idea? I tried to install and unistall but no luck.
Another question — do you know if there’s a converter or program to allow qvod to be used in mac?
The latest install from QVOD official site v3.5.0 build 0064 will cause Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware real time scan to hang even after click ignore. After reboot, Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware scan will show many bad stuff being insert into the system registry and even system restore.
From read QVOD forum, I learn that someone using win7 had the blue screen crash after installing the one download from official site. However, the alternative link old version turn out to be ok. http://old.xiazaiba.com/downinfo/3516.html
I just tried it out it totally passed Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware REAL time scan and full system scan after install!!!! There was nothing bad being detected!?!?!?
This lead me to believe that there are many version of QVOD out there but some is actually safe. However, why is the official and new one is unclean is unknown.
Just look up the scan log of failed attempt to install the newer official version v3.5.0 build 0064. Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware log indicated that the full system scan after rebooting a hang computer had Adware.agent ref#19921, Trojan.Bancos ref#36623, Adware.Baidu ref#43949, and Trojan.Bancos ref#46495. on 2/7/2010.
Despite the fact that I posted a link of version seem to ok, I still want to caution every one that there are site that may still exploit the QVOD software or exploit the flash media weakness. The QVOD forum had a post with few pages of those sites.
Looks like Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware just flag QvodBand.dll as Spywares.OnlineGames ref#31615. Few other registry also got flag as Spywares.OnlineGames.
Apparently, the link copy of supposely safe copy of old QVOD installation put QvodTerminal.exe hiding in startup. Hence, the process of QvodTerminal is already running without the user knowing until one disable using either msconfig or ccleaner.
