Solve : Real Player pain!?

Answer»

Since updating Real Player yesterday, Online Armor FIREWALL keeps warning me each time I open up Firefox that a dangerous program, Realplayer.exe is trying to run. I have scanned with AVG anti virus, AVG anti spyware, AVG anti rootkill, A-Squared, RemoveIt. Nothing found and I think the problem is with OA. I have marked Realplayer as "Trusted" in the program list. But still I get the warning box come up. Is there an ALTERNATIVE to Real Player that would not cause this problem, or is there something else I can do?
Thanks for any suggestion.
I have:
WIN XP Pro
Firefox
Thunderbird
AVG free Anti Virus
AVG Anti Spyware
Online Armour free Firewall
Win Patrol
Spyware Blaster
RemoveIt anti virus
A Squared anti maleware
Advanced Windows Care

Is there an alternative to Real Player

I dont know if Real Alternative is what you would want.
Real Alternative http://filehippo.com/download_real_alternative/

I use Media Monkey http://www.mediamonkey.com/

WinAmp www.winamp.com is also very good.Remove Real Player from your startup folder...it doesn't need to be there anyways...
Also dis-able auto-updates in Real Player which is also useless.

EF's alternative is a NICE suggestion.Thanks. I have uninstalled Real Player and downloaded and installed Real Alternative to give it a try. Just opened up Firefox and no warning!Real Player is a Real SOB, rather.
