Snitched from a web site concerning viewpoint products.

Viewpoint Media Player is bundled with AOL, AOL Instant Messenger, Netscape 7, etc and sometimes not mentioned in the license agreement. Source
Viewpoint Media Player is also bundled with Adobe Atmosphere and hardware manufacturers pre-install some of these applications mentioned above, so those machines will have Viewpoint installed as well. I think Viewpoint Media Player has a fine bundling policy because it is only bundled with related products and they actually use the media player. For example, Adobe Atmosphere uses the Viewpoint Media Player to view a virtual world and AOL uses Viewpoint for advertising and enhanced content on their service and in the client software itself. The SuperBuddies feature (for instant messaging), Instant Greetings, Kids Online, the new windowing system, and many other areas on AOL deliver high-impact graphics using Viewpoint. The Viewpoint Media Player is required for AOL's operation and if it is removed AOL will reinstall Viewpoint Media Player.
It ain't a virus.
As for net meeting if you use win2000 it comes bundled in it. If xp it's a add on goodie that is a microsoft product.
