The ViewPoint Media Player is more of a plug-in than an actual standalone media player. ViewPoint Media Player was developed by the ViewPoint Corporation and is used as a plug-in for a web browser, allowing users to view complex and detailed 3D graphics, such as those produced by the Adobe Flash program. The ViewPoint Media Player is often bundled in with Netscape and with AOL products, such as the popular Instant Messaging program AIM. It is also used by companies and websites to create virtual tours of their products or their businesses.
ViewPoint Media Player often finds its way onto users’ computers without their knowledge. This had led to speculation that it is, or contains, spyware. The truth is, ViewPoint Media Player is simply bundled with a lot of software packages. It is a very useful product in itself and can prove vital for anyone who views a lot of 3D content online and wants to improve the performance of these videos. ViewPoint Media Player is also very simple to delta if you find it on your computer and don’t want it there.
