"Caution!!! Do not download!!!"
Version: Media Player Codec Pack 4.2.3
Pros
NONE!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!
Cons
This is some sort of scam. It wiped out all of "my documents", itunes, etc. and reset the internet explorer, desktop, etc. to like new status. It's like a reset button/program was run. Thank God I have Carbonite.
Summary
PLEASE do not download. The 8 million downloads must be some sort of scam.
Reboot your computer a SECOND time after download if you have issues like I did. Somehow, everything came back after rebooting a second time. Still scary. Back-up your pc before downloading!

"BEWARE!!!!!"
Version: Media Player Codec Pack 4.2.3
Pros
none whatsoever
Cons
Hijacked my browser - set the home page to "ask.com", set the default search engine to ask.com, and installed the ask.com toolbar. No telling what other damage it did. And my DVDs STILL will not play!
Do NOT use the quick easy install method! Better yet, just avoid this download.Summary
Nasty hijackware - should be illegal. Does not make the Windows Media Player play basic DVDs.
