Q: how do i delete MPlayerX???

I downloaded a program called MPlayerX and i thought it was legit, but then soon found out that it wasn't, so now i would like to know how to delete it, as it will not let me move it to trash when i found it on Launchpad and right clicked.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

    MPlayerX itself is legitimate, but the source you got it from isn’t; they packaged adware with it. Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to download software to resolve this issue(you don't need to, but may find it easier), run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.
