  1. Review - Win7codecs

    3.5.6 (Mar 18, 2012)

    This installs malware/stuff that you didn't ask to install on your machine with no option.
    Avoid unless you want BING toolbar, Ask.com toolbar, WindowsLiveID Sign In assistant and Silverlight forced on your system.

    Juanito - You are misinformed and you are misleading the folks who are downloading this.

    IT INSTALLS STUFF THAT YOU DIDN"T ASK IT TO INSTALL

    Here is the log file of the install - you can see for yourself if you know how to read logs...
    The last entry (earliest in time) is the start of the WIN7Codec install
    The rest of the stuff is what it jams down your throat.
