"Doesn't work, but all the unwanted stuff does"
Version: FLVPlayer 1.1
Pros
There are no pros to this
Cons
Uses a cNet installer to install (whether you want it or not) various "browser addons" that change all your browser and internet settings, forcing you to use those addons and visit the preferred pages over the ones you want to use. As for the FLV Player itself, it does not work, crashed repeatedly on startup.
Summary
This program should be avoided. As this is the third program in a row downloaded from cNet that has done this, I am reporting cNet as a malicious site. Users should avoid downloading anything from this site, it's obvious now they are being paid to put trash on user computers.

"Did bad things to my computer"
Version: FLVPlayer 1.1
Pros
None found
Cons
* Couldn't play some flv files I wanted it to
* Was extremely difficult to bypass all bad additional software/toolbars it wanted to install. I still may find some things.
* Won't fully uninstall
* Broke my context menu. I no longer have "open with" for flv files.Summary
Avoid this

"Installs a crappy toolbar even if you've refused"
Version: FLVPlayer 1.1
Pros
I do not like applications that forces malware to install even if you refuses to do so in the ad hoc screen.
Cons
Installs MTSTART TOOLBAR which is a pain in the .... to eliminate from the computer.And install it in ALL the browsers (I have more than normal because I use them for test purposes).
What I've downloaded from the button is this file:
flvplayer4free_setup.exe
Better option : download from freecodecs.com the former Adobe Player 1.8 (you must install Adobe Air previouslly)Summary
Do not install it, you will be invaded by crappware which is very difficult to unistall (if you are not experienced may be you'll will have to pay for it.

"Does not work with Windows 8 RP"
Version: FLVPlayer 1.1
Pros
None as I couldn't run it.

Requires .NET ver 1.1.4322 which is up to 4 and 4.5 (for Win8 RP). Unable to install .Net 1.1 on 64-bit Windows which means unable to use this program on 64-bit Windows.

"Does what you'd expect!"
Version: FLVPlayer 1.1
Pros
It's compact small, easy to use. It doesn't claim to be full of features, and it isn't. I that deserves high scores.
