Blocking Annoying Ads on KMPlayer 3.7.0.113

The most recent version of this media player is the KMPlayer 3.9.1.135. It has an appealing and easy to use interface making video play-back a hassle-free affair.It also comes with a variety of skin-interfaces designed to suit your taste.
 
Besides, KMPlayer 3.9.1.135 can play all sorts on audio and video formats be it Mp3, Mp4, AVI, WMV, MKV, DAT, MPEG I, MPEG II, FLV, MKV, ASF or whichever other format you may think of. This makes it the best among other free players. Apart from this, it has hundreds of features which are customizable to suit user’s preferences.

However, the latest KMPlayer 3.9.1.135 which is flagged as a freeware has some annoying ad pop-ups which means that after all it is not free. This is a back-door route of making cash and unfortunately, there is no dedicated button for blocking them. 

That notwithstanding, I am going to show you how you can make your KMPlayer 3.9.1.135 ad free
1.  Through file-editing-approach. Go to the drive partition with the Operating System (OS), click on Windows, System32, Drivers, Etc folder, hosts file. Right click on hosts, go to Security, Users, Edit button and then tick all the boxes to permit user to control the file. After that, open the file with notepad and edit it by pasting this information on a new line:  127.0.0.1 Player.kmpmedia.net and save it and bingo. You are done!

2.   Alternatively, go to your computer's control panel, click on Network and Internet, on the window's pop-up, click on the security button and then on the restricted sites and add this: player.kmpmedia.net and restart your media player and that is it. There will be no more side bar ads!

3.   You can also go to your Internet Security’s firewall (anti-virus) settings and add the player.kmpmedia.net to the blocking rules to deny it access to the internet.

4.   You can also avoid all these hassles by reverting to the previous KMPlayer models. All other previous versions starting from 3.6.0.87 were free of these ads.

The list is not exhaustive but currently these are some of the best tricks of removing ads from the KMPlayer 3.9.1.135 and thus the choice is yours.
