This program is found to be hogging 50% of my cpu process. And I'm not even using RP cloud for which it is intended.
I'll be working on getting it off my machine.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Real Player a half dozen times. The net result is that in addition to "RPSYSTRAY has stopped working" I now also get "RealDownloader has stopped working." I can still use my Real Payer but have not tried downloading anything. I get these popups several times an hour and am not using Real Player at the time. I run Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpywsare in addition to my virus software. They don't detect anything because it's not malware, it's Real Player.

To heck with real player, just install video download helper from firefox add-ons section. Use VLC player for all videos.

This rpsystray situation is a real annoyance from the constant pop-ups to it freezing my screen at times. It may not technically be malware...but it is to me. I have to get this off my computer. Autopivot is another annoying popup. That stops working too. I will def check out VLC though...anything that knows how to play well with others works better than what I have.
