Ehh,i'd hold off.All it seems to be is a download manager.

The only thing new,seems new,never heard of the video player or the screensaver.

I ran Url Snooper in the background and caught the direct links

Screensaver
http://gpdl.google.com/GP_screensaver_installer-5.exe

Video Player-weighs in at about 4 and half MB,so i think it's a different video player.
http://gpdl.google.com/GoogleVideoPlayerSetup_signed-2.exe


I'm off to give it a try.


One last bit,the downloader want BITS (background intellegence transfer service) to run in the background.

No thanks.

I find a bit disappointing the choice of the Antivirus package.
But maybe it's just me... I really don't like NAV.

Bye!

The whole package is a disappointment ,i unistalled the screensaver cause,well it's a screensaver,ya!

I've held on to the video player even though i can't find anything to do with it just yet.Stupid thing on
google part is that it only plays their file types,they've cozied up with Real networks and Divx so what
gives?
