Now there's two familiar filenames
Sky movie's download used those years ago (don't know if it still does) and most antivirus software at the time picked them up as trojans.
Unless 4OD are more honest than sky, they are a stealth torrent-style streaming product - once you download a file to your PC, it uses your internet bandwidth to upload it to others and this runs on your machine 24/7 unless you manually configure the services it installs to do otherwise.
I'm going to stick with the beeb's flash iplayer.

iplayer
uses the same software (my pc gets confused if i start using one after periods of using the other) at least with 4od you can stream instead of downloading

Beeb does a Flash player too now
so you don't need to install anything and/or use XP, IE and WMP11.
