"Not for .FLV files"
Version: Media Player Codec Pack 4.2
Pros
none yet but still hoping for one.
Cons
Comes with Babylon Virus Bar. Will not decode .FLV's.
Summary
Beware. Make sure to look for reviews for the specific file type you are trying to play before downloading because getting rid of the Babylon Virus Bar is a big waste of time if you didn't get what you wanted in the first place.
