Viewpoint is a browser plugin as already stated. It has nothing to do with AOL. It has nothing to do with iTunes.

It will download as an update with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

It is a 3D viewer.

My IBM T40 was running like molasses in January, added 'other I/O' to Win2KPro task manager, to see this program doing 749,000 I/O's in the past 8 hours. Whatever it is, I've removed it.

Thank you to Scott (above). Of all the messages I've looked at online, Scott's mentions Toyota's website. I recently looked at Scion.com. Scion is a car made by Toyota. That is absolutely how I got it on my system. It keeps popping up because of ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm. I couldn't trace the reason it started popping up until I finally saw Scott's message above.

Thanks everyone - I deleted this program too. Zone Alarm and websites like this are invaluable.

I don't recall ever agreeing to download anything called viewpoint manager yet it somehow got on my pc like spyware does. It is in my control panel and when you click it it shows a dialog box with two choices(one saying if you want to disable its autoupdate feature and the other about displying a warning every time it has installed a component). If I had to say I'd say it was spyware (but that may be my paranoia kicking in). It also connected to the internet at a very strange time, while I was playing Day of Defeat. Very peculiar since I close all my programs and disable most services to save resources yet somehow it came up.

I got the viewmgr.exe going to either nasa.gov or www.space.com. The site asked to upgrade my flash player and boom there she was. She's one ugly hemroid that is easily cured

Either this morning or last night I got a notice from SpyBot telling me something called ViewPoint or ViewManager wanted to change my registry!!!

This morning Kerio firewall was giving me notices that ViewPOint was trying to connect to the internet to ip 170.224.10.154 (which has something to do with IBM?)

I don't know but I don't like it. I didn't ask to install anything. And why does it keep asking to connect to the internet? That's just wrong. I just uninstalled it, but I wish I had run SpyBot first to see what it did with it.

The following information on ViewMgr.exe was obtained from the following website.

Below is the info it offers, hope is helps.

Thanks for the help. I found ViewMgr files installed 19 minutes after the Adobe\Acrobat6.0\Reader\Plugins folder was created. Just enough time to get the plugins installed and get back to whatever pdf I wanted to view. I've had ZoneAlarm blocking it from the net, but it's still running in the background. Don't like it. Thanks for the assistance in getting rid of it.

Thanks for helping me remove ViewMgr fully, I looked online for a more extensive details about ViewMgr. Check it out if your interested.
