Re: Heads Up - Flaw for Viewpoint Media Player Posted.

Software Update

The Viewpoint Media Player is designed to check for the availability of software updates to ensure that you have the latest product improvements.

When the Viewpoint Media Player checks for the availability of an update, basic information about the product version and installed components are sent anonymously to Viewpoint. This step determines whether new, free software is available for download.

Thanks. Got Viewpoint on 2 of my computers. Never use it. Uninstalled it.

I found the command string.

"Viewpoint Support sez -

Cntl + Alt + Shift + Left Click on the content that requires the VMP. A window should appear that tells you all of the components you have, and what version they are."

Test page - »www.viewpoint.com/technologies/v···eo.shtml

Click on one of the "balls" below the text that says - "Viewpoint Media Player Features - Click to View Features Below"

Thanks.
