   Review - Vista Codec Package

   5.9.3 (Apr 7, 2011)

   Well sorry to say, for the latest version, i got a big surprise of ASK Toolbar all over my browsers (firefox and IE8). And no notification or warning or choice during install. I guess times are tough and all, but i can't recommend any installer that does stealth install of junk like ASK toolbars, injecting them into both IE and FIREFOX (who knows maybe chrome if you have that installed)
   
   Now, I was able to remove them and continue using the codec pack. And to the author's credit, he does give instructions on how to prevent it on the official forums. Still, i have decided to say so long, uninstall, and move on. In my line of work (which includes a lot of malware and junk-software removal), i just can't recommend it. I'll still give it 1 extra star over minimum, for the codec pack itself is quite good and useful.

   Review - Vista Codec Package

   5.7.8 (Jul 8, 2010)

   Works great here on old XP.
   
   I just tweak settings to my own needs, this pack + MPC-Homecinema is a WIN
   
   Only one thing bad i could say is, by default = ffdshow audio mixer is on headphone virtual surround??? But easy enough to switch off. Probably just one of those, you know, matter of taste things, i like it pure with no virtual s***ual.

   Review - Adobe Flash Player for Windows (IE)

   10.1.53.64 (Jul 8, 2010)

   just an update to my last post, seems to be more of a Firefox problem - with Firefox's plugin-container.exe, disabling it made flash run a lot better.

   Review - InfraRecorder

   0.46.1 (Nov 11, 2008)

   Some things are not as good as IMG-burn, but i like the interfaces better. I have high hopes for this one. This program is a great combination of simplicity and functionality.

   Review - AVG Anti-Virus Free

   8.0.175a1382 (Oct 22, 2008)

   Working fine here. -3 though for a few too many false positives, but +1 for easily being able to add an exclusion path to the resident scanner, and +1 for still being able to uncheck the garbage in the custom install option.

   I just hope this isn't another one of those things we hear about, then never hear about again. I won't hold my breath.

    People who realize it isn't worth any $$ but want to laugh at how bad it is, just my guess.
    Or err that would be my only reason :)
    
    What i find really amazing is, how Axl is still alive.
