Was working fine, but now it's a virus.

Pros
Gui is simple. Can play gifs. Loads reasonably fast.
Cons
-No fullscreen. -Gui can be buggy and obstruct image. -Last update installed something else that wants to install everything under the shaddy sun, It's gui keeps itself above all your windows, hides it's name so it's hard to close using the task manager, Doesn't have a way to close it normally, and litterally doesn't take "no" for an answer as there is no option to say "don't install anything".
Summary
It was never the best program, but it worked, so I kept with it until I updated it and on 3/2/2016 it tried to install 20+ questionable "apps" that I didn't want. I can understand wanting to make a living on what you do, but to put people at such risk just for pennies on the dollar is not ok. If your reading this then your probably looking for something that opens image files windows doesn't. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else.
Extremely helpful media viewer!

Pros
- it's very speedy and tidy - owns the same functions as other viewer while being faster and only weighing 600kb installed
Cons
no cons at the moment, i can not confirm that any spyware or malware was installed on my computer, like its mentioned in other reviews
Summary
Very useful program, since it contains a zoom function, it will replace the windows photo viewer on my pc

Pros
The software is small and easy ,I use him only to open GIF pictures and that is all good what I can say about him !!
Cons
Install 3-4 malware programs(insall and fck. genieo and he will change your home page on browser)
Summary
If you don´t know how to uninstal malware programs than don´t download this(this is not problem with cnet the some thing is and on their ofic. web page),they can more better if they want that, just remove the malware programs and that will be very nice program!
Installs Malicious Software
BlRyVAugust 13, 2014
Pros
The application itself works
Cons
The installer, download DIRECTLY from the main website, installed on my PC the following software: PenWes (a DNS hijacker), Wajam (garbage social software to basically know where you are/live) and on top of it a Remote Desktop Access VuuPC! Really, Herr Woobe?! STAY AWAY FROM THIS MALICIOUS WEBSITE. You have been warned.
Summary
If you're not trying to get your passwords and stuff stolen, steer clear from that website and go find another legit gif viewer.
1 of the best players I have ever used. Extremely easy.
June 23, 2014
Pros
Portable - No registry entries Simple to use Supports most formats Displays colors correctly without configuring unlike VLC Low Memory usage Quick access buttons
Cons
I really like VLC advance ahead by scrolling mouse which is not supported on any other player. Displays some formats incorrectly and can't be corrected by preferences.
Summary
Highly recommend. I have set up as my default MP3Player

Developer’s Description

By InViewer Dev Group

Open various types of media files.

InViewer is a very simple app for opening verious media files quick and easy on any Windows machine out there. Since you need many different programs to open media files like images audios and videos, now you only need one. The stock programs for these files are very heavy, slow and anything but smart. InViewer is weighs only about 300 KBs, is portable and has a smart user interface. It can handle nearly every common file format, and also for example GIF animations. These animations cause a big problem in Windows PCs, because there's no valuable viewer for them.
