Fake Video Codecs
Are you a video junky? Well members of my household are. Their desire to watch the coolest video allowed some adware to hijack one of our computers. Now before you scratch your head and ask didn’t you update your anti spyware and anti adware software? I did. I was using Norton’s latest version and it never batted and eye, let out a peep and we were in pop up hell while additional nasty programs were sneaking into our system.The pop ups were fake windows warning boxes of a skynet virus and they were filled with misspellings. The Trojan even inserted new icons on my desktop to download and install this nefarious crap. Counter Spy to the rescue!! I downloaded it and installed Counter Spy in minutes. Counter Spy has a free 15 day trial. It found all 8 of the nasties that had invaded the computer and cleaned them out. It only took 15 min to complete the whole process. The trial version is fully functional. Check out this article from PC MAG on fake Codecshttp://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2046053,00.asp
