Tom is right that RealPlayer/RealOne is an obnoxious piece of
crud and shouldn't ever have been installed. If you insist on
keeping it, start up Realplayer and disable the "Enable web
Downloading and Recording" option. In Windows, this would
be in the Preferences under the Tools menu, so for the Mac
I would look in Preferences under the RealPlayer menu.
Do this even if you do ultimately decide to junk RealPlayer,
because it may have put a browser plugin and/or a startup
item in other places in your system.
But really, try living without it and see if you miss it. If you
must have an external player other than QuickTime, try
VLC. Also, some of the media types that you think you
need RealPlayer for can be handled by the flip4mac
plugin/preference pane. Look them both up at
versiontracker.com.
Thanks for the input, but anymore productive answer then just get rid
of it?

Should never have allowed it to install in the first place.
Have you tried dragging RealPlayer or RealOne Player into the trash
and
emptying the trash? That is the official uninstall method.
