It came with stormcodec6. I plugin to let you play RealMedia, quicktime and other formats in windows media player basic, Something that's normally not possible. I installed it and it did indeed play Real Media files in windows media player basic. But for some reason when I restarted my computer and it asked me for permission to run StormSet.exe I felt suspicious so for now I'm leaving it on there, and denying it until I know whether or not it's a Legitimate program.
