Question

Is nox player safe?

Anónimas

Hi! Before starting, I want to clear out that I am not very fluent in english.

I installed nox player at the beginning of 2021, it is an android emulator. I have found articles that afirm that during that time the program was hacked and affected with malware (I have found this info recently, not in the time I installed the program by the first time). I uninstalled it because I thought I would no longer need it. Then, in febreaury of 2022, I decided to reinstall the program because I needed it to do some stuff. The thing is that the installator was in arabic and it tried to install an antivirus that I think (almost surely) it was a PUP. Finally, I uninstalled nox player again after that happened..

I know that my question is very broad, but I would like if you could tell me if I should take some measures on my computer or (given that I have not experienced any strange behavior after what I did) if it is ok. Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.

And follow these additional steps.

Uninstall an unwanted application in Programs and features,

Go to start type in Control Panel, then go to Programs and then Programs and Features then go to the list of the programs look for anything unusual or any application that you are not aware right click then uninstall.
