I downloaded something and it might be a virus "not sure" ! so instead of taking a chance i'd rather just restore my computer ! But I forgot how to do that !
it was an application-------- mplayerx ------ and it added 13 more apps
Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you'd rather not remove it manually, you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

You don't need to and shouldn't restore it to get rid of those applications.

MPlayerX installs a bunch of other "helper" apps that actually do the heavy lifting, but, unfortunately, it also acts a bit like malware.
THis discussing has the removal instructions:
PS: Strike the words "restore hard drive" from your vocabular!
PPS: The application itself seems quite legitimate and works OK. My theory is that it has been "highjacked" by others and the malware portion added by them. In the end, since you don't know if you're downloading a clean version, you still have to stay clear of it entirely.
