It's been quite a while since I have written about this topic. But here's why I am going on about this once again. I have seen many hits to this blog of mine with people querying for Ipornplayer and Isexplayer ending up here. I am still wondering why no other web site has covered this rather important piece of news. This also makes me wonder whether what I experienced was just specific to my phone and connection only?
What I wish to know are the real user experiences after they install this suspect piece of software. No doubt, it's NOT a malware, but it sure does trick you in to installing it and all you need to do is "run" it and lo, you're automatic phone calls to unknown international destinations start. At least that is what happened to me -TWICE.
The first time, thanks to my adventurous friend, and the second time for testing purposes. I incurred call charges of more than 25USD just to pay for the services I never availed. Last time I checked, opening an application is NOT accessing a service! Thats correct, I had just opened the application - did not click on any of the links but still, they wanted me to "pay"! And what a nice way to extort money! Call an international premium rate sex line while you're taking a nap. I had as many as 13 calls made in a span of 24 hours before the alarm bells rang and I uninstalled the software.
For those who are not aware of what exactly had happened, my earlier two stories on this piece of software could help. Here are the links for the previous articles.
Initial report
Ipornplayer Update!
I would also like to hear from people who have had this installed and have experienced something weird. I am sure this does not happen with everyone who has this software installed. A friend from Malaysia tried it on his phone and nothing happened. If you have been affected in anyway by this either Isexplayer or the Ipornplayer, please post away your comments or just Shout! using the shoutbox you see on the right.
I would like people to come forward with their experiences with these software. I know it's still out there, Earlier, under the name iSexplayer which disappeared after I broke the story and Ipornplayer making an innocuous come-back just a few days later. What was your experience with Isexplayer/Ipornplayer? Post away!

Udara, In my case, I was able to get rid of the problem after uninstalling it. Do you recall where you downloaded it from? Might be a different version then.
