"Hijacked Browser Start Pages & Search Engines"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 4.0.6
Pros
I assume CODECS were installed, but I was so torqued at the browser hijacking that I didn't bother to check.
Cons
Hijacked the Search Engine and Start Pages for all 3 of my browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox). Chose Yahoo Search courtesy of spigot.com. Took more time removing all vestiges of this than it is worth. I can't believe CNET actually allows this download on their site.
Summary
Find another source of CODECS unless you want this to change your browsers.

"Horrible!!"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 4.0.6
Pros
None at all
Cons
I can go on and on
Summary
Better use K-lite codecs than this POS

"It was already here"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 4.0.6
Pros
See Summary
Cons

Summary
I got my PC from a friend (Windows 7/hand me down) and this is in the startup menu and I have no idea what it is, what it does, or if it NEEDS to be in the startup menu.

"browser hijack"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 4.0.6
Pros
none, didn't even work for me
Cons
installs add ons, browser hijack and search engine hijack
-
"Make sure you delete old version first."
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 4.0.6
Pros
I have had the old version(s) for quite a while and they have been great.
Cons
If you install the new version without the old version your system will become awfully confused and little or nothing will play.
Summary
This should be setup to install as an update to previous versions and/or it should detect previous versions before it installs.

"It seems to work okay"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 4.0.6
Pros
It seems to work as it should
Cons
I haven't found any

"Not crazy about the applet in the systray"
Version: Windows 7 Codec Pack 4.0.6
Pros
Not sure of any pros, haven't really had time to check it with media files yet.
Cons
Another systray icon. I don't play media 24/7, why should I need something that runs all the time and takes up ram overhead?
Summary
Not sure about this one. Will probably downgrade back to the last release. If by some miracle I find I can't live without it in some way, I may reinstall, but right now, not impressed.
