Hello Jay,
The Viewpoint Media Player is the basis for many of the cutting edge graphics and applications one uses today on the web. If you’ve ever looked at a 3D car model, a virtual room, a 3D server, or any of the other interactive content we’ve created for our clients, then you’ve needed the Viewpoint Media Player. We’re an integral part of the AOL operating system enabling AOL users to choose desktop themes and 3D Super Buddies for their desktops and IM’s. The Viewpoint Media Player is bundled with AOL, AIM, Netscape, certain Adobe products, and newer computer purchases through the manufacturer. In order to run AOL, you must have the Viewpoint Media Player installed on your machine. This is why it re-installs after you uninstall it. It is AOL's policy not to list us explictly in their EULA when installing.
We do not install any 3rd party software nor do we collect ANY personally identifiable information (i.e. hard drive, credit card numbers). The Viewpoint Toolbar is compliant with Better Business Bureau and TrustE privacy standards, and has received 4 out of 5 stars from PC Magazine. Additionally, we have been reviewed and certified as completely FREE of spyware and adware by leading anti-spyware scanners. If the scanner you are referencing is XoftSpy, we are working with them to change our designation as a major threat to your software.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience our software may have caused you. We believe in making the user experience on the web more robust. We want to continue to be the leader in cutting-edge graphical content for the web and provide our users with applications that are fun to use and make their web experience more productive. Please feel free to contact us for any further questions or comments you may have.
Best Regards,
Anna
