But since you have landed on this page, it means that you are specifically interested in how to remove KMPlayer. I will describe to you the uninstallation process using the Windows Uninstall Wizard and using the Revo Uninstaller program.

In the control panel, look for "Uninstall programs" or "Add or Remove Programs", launch by single or double clicking the left mouse button (depending on the version of Windows). See below pictures for Windows XP and Windows 7.

Yes, there are many players besides KPMpayer, but there are cases when this particular player can handle the playback. It has a bunch of settings and works from its own codecs, which makes it independent of the system. For example, I had such a case when not a single player (windows MP, LA, classic MP and others) could play the Russian audio track in the film. And I needed her. This is where KPMpayer helped me.
After that, I started using this player, but I was annoyed by ads:
This ad can be disabled. This is done simply: we need to change the windows “host” file, which is responsible for redirection (redirects addresses like site.ru to IP). In this case, we need to redirect all KMP Internet addresses to the internal IP 127.0.0.1, so the program will not be able to access the Internet and advertising will not work. Also, any communication of the program with the Internet will not work.
Important: please note that KMP installs with itself a program that lives well on the Internet (communicates via the Internet with users on the video network). The program is called "pandora" and it eats traffic. I recommend that you go to the "add/remove programs" panel and check if you have "pandora" installed, if there is, remove it, it does not affect the operation of KMP.
Removing ads
Open the file "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" in notepad and add these lines at the end
127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net 127.0.0.1 log.kmplayer.com 127.0.0.1 cdn.kmplayer.com 127.0.0.1 cdn.pandora.tv
If you can't save the host file
"host" is a system file and Windows may not allow you to change this file. To bypass this protection, you need to open notepad with administrator rights. For this:
1. Open a notepad with administrator rights: go to the “C:\Windows” folder, find the “notepad.exe” file there, right-click (right-click) and select “Run as Administrator” from the menu.
2. Open the host file in notepad: File > Open > File path: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts > Button: Open.
3. Edit and save the file. The file will now be saved.
Another option is to change the host
In the window that opens, select the user and check the box next to "Full access".
The main window of the KMPlayer media player displays advertisements. Therefore, many users of this program are beginning to look for an answer to the question of how to remove ads in KMPlayer.
KMPlayer is a popular and powerful program for watching videos or listening to music. At the same time, integrated advertising is displayed in the main window of the program.
If you use various free programs, then you probably noticed that ads are displayed in the windows of many of these programs. This is how app developers make money. I think that they should not be scolded for this, since they develop programs that we use completely free of charge.
In this article, I will tell you how you can remove ads in KMPlayer in three different ways: using the Internet Explorer browser, using the hosts file, using the Adguard program.
In the new version of the player, changing the cover does not remove ads from the KMPlayer window. After a new launch of the player, advertising will again be displayed in the main window of the program.
How to remove ads in KMPlayer using Internet Explorer
To remove ads from KMPlayer, you will need to enter the settings of your Internet Explorer browser. In the main browser window, click on the "Tools" menu button. Next, in the "Internet Options" window, go to the "Security" tab. In the "Dangerous Sites" area, click the "Sites" button.
In the "Dangerous Sites" window, add to this zone the addresses of sites that broadcast ads to the KMPlayer multimedia player:
http://player.kmpmedia.net http://www.kmplayer.com/
After adding an entry to the field, click on the "Add" button, and then on the "Close" button.
In the "Internet Options" window, click the "OK" button.
After launching KMPlayer, you will see that there will be no more ads in the player window.
How to remove ads in KMPlayer using the hosts file
When using this method, you will need to open the hosts file, which is located in this path:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
You can open this file with the standard Notepad program. To save changes to the hosts file, first copy the hosts file to your desktop and then open it with Notepad.
You will need to add the following lines to the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net 127.0.0.1 www.kmplayer.com
After a new launch of the player, the main window of KMPlayer will be without ads.
How to remove ads in KMPlayer using Adguard
It will be possible to completely remove ads in KMPlayer using the Adguard program. With the help of this program, you can remove ads not only in this particular player, but also in other applications that show ads in their windows.
In the window that opens, click on the "Select an executable file ..." button.
After that, KMPlayer will be added to the list of applications that are subject to traffic filtering. After restarting the program, you will see that the banner ads have been disabled in the media player. Now, you can watch videos or listen to music in KMPlayer without being distracted by annoying ads.
