Google Pack

Google Pack was a collection of software tools offered by Google to download in a single archive. It was announced at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show, on January 6. Google Pack was only available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
In September 2011, Google announced it would discontinue a number of its products, including Google Pack. Google Pack is no longer available for download.

In March 2007, Google added two new applications to the Google Pack: Spyware Doctor Starter Edition and Norton Security Scan. These programs were free and did not require a subscription, unlike Norton AntiVirus. However, Norton Security Scan does not offer continuous protection against viruses. Norton Security Scan scans the computer and identifies if there are existing viruses, worms, spyware, unwanted adware or Trojans residing on it.
The program's functionality is similar to Microsoft's Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.
Google has stated they have no monetary agreement with the makers of the above software and they offered the applications for the ease of Google's customers. They didn't receive any payment for providing the software pack, although Miguel Helft in his New York Times blog reported that an unidentified source stated that Google may pay Sun for each copy of StarOffice. StarOffice was no longer part of Google Pack since November 2008.
Google has included the VoIP application Skype in the pack, even though it is a competitor of Google's own Google Talk.
Some industry observers claimed that the release was little more than a collection of software "that Google's wrapped a rubber band around".
