Move Media Player?

So... I was cleaning up my computer by backing up stuff I want to keep, just in case, and deleting the stuff I already have backed up on CDs. I'm doing this to free up some space on my computer, so I was also deleting programs I no longer use or never used in the first place until I noticed in the Control Panel that there is this program called Move Media Player. I did some Google research and found out that it's some sort of plugin to view videos on websites such as ABC, FOX, etc. The problem is... the program size is 90.3 GB as stated in the Control Panel, so I doubt this is some sort of plug-in.

After that I visited its website called Move Networks and it says, "Move Networks is a global provider of comprehensive solutions that delivers the next generation of live, multi-channel television over the Internet".

I don't really watch television over the Internet, so do you guys think it'd be alright to uninstall? It is a big program and I've been kinda doubtful about deleting it. Some of my friends told me that the program might have just came with the laptop but I kinda doubt it did since Control Panel shows it being installed on September of 2009, and I got my laptop around December of 2008.

I'd really like to know since I'm cleaning my computer to create more space, in an attempt to run MS smoothly, as it used to run (lag-free) during the 1st year I had this laptop. Thanks in advance!

P.S: The program has no sort of I way of opening like a regular program, where the icon is on the desktop (something like that). Sorry for the wall of text btw.

[quote=BobR]I'm not familiar with that application, but if you never use it, and it's so big, there's really no reason to just let it fill up your hard drive.

I also can't think of any reasonable reason for it to be so huge, unless there's a demo video included in it (which would be pretty stupid since it would increase the download time hugely).

If if was my computer I'd give it the axe.[/quote]

Same. The programs really big so I was kinda afraid whether it would affect my laptop or not. But Thanks!
