Every time I'm on a website such as YouTube or Facebook, I get a pop-up that's titled: DivX Plus Web Player: Auto-Update. It says, " A new version of the DivX Plus Web Player is available. Click on "Upgrade Now" to install.

I've installed it a few times, and restarted the computer, but I continuously get this message. How do I remove it? My last resort is to just delete the player.
 
To completely purge DivX.Updater from your computer, you need to delete the files, folders, and Windows registry keys, and registry values associated with DivX.Updater. These files, folders, and registry keys are respectively listed in the Files, Folders, Registry Keys, and Registry Values sections on this page.

To delete the DivX.Updater files and folders:

1. Using your file explorer, browse to each file and folder listed in the Folders and Files sections.
Note: The paths use certain conventions such as [%PROGRAM_FILES%]. These conventions are explained here.
2. Select the file or folder and press SHIFT+Delete on the keyboard.
3. Click Yes in the confirm deletion dialog box

To remove the DivX.Updater registry keys and values:

1. On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit and click OK.
The Registry Editor window opens. This window consists of two panes. The left pane displays folders that represent the registry keys arranged in hierarchical order. The right one lists the registry values of the currently selected registry key.
3. To delete each registry key listed in the Registry Keys section, do the following:
* Locate the key in the left pane of the Registry Editor window by sequentially expanding the folders according to the path indicated in the Registry Keys section. For example, if the path of a registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\FolderA\FolderB\KeyName1, sequentially expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, software, FolderA, and FolderB folders.
* Select the key name indicated at the end of the path (KeyName1 in the example above).
* Right-click the key name and select Delete on the menu.
* Click Yes in the Confirm Key Delete dialog box.
4. To delete each registry value listed in the Registry Values section, do the following:
* Display the value in the right pane of the Registry Editor window by sequentially expanding the folders in the left pane according to the path indicated in the Registry Values section and selecting the specified key name. For example, if the path of a registry value is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\FolderA\FolderB\KeyName2\,valueC=, sequentially expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, software, FolderA, and FolderB folders and select the KeyName2 key to display the valueC value in the right pane.
* In the right pane, select the value name indicated after a comma at the end of the path (valueC in the example above).
* Right-click the value name and select Delete on the menu.
* Click Yes in the Confirm Value Delete dialog box.
