Moderators hazelnut Posted November 11, 2005 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2005 Is there any reason why I should not get rid of the viewpoint manager I noticed today in my prog. files? I can only think it was left over from something I no longer have. I do not have the viewpoint media player. Also when I just googled it it is associated with AOL and Sony. It says it downloads a unique number to the computer to help it manager the updates which it automatically serches for every 24 hours!!

Moderators hazelnut Posted November 11, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2005 Have deleted now, could it have had anything to do with the macromedia flash 8 update I did recently, as I see in google the two seem to be connected.?

Glenn Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 You can inadvertently pick up Viewpoint Media Player and/or Manager at the sites of several major automakers and electronics manufacturers. It does not seem to trigger a warning the way most such players do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
