Media Codec: MediaCodec

MediaCodec is a trojan that may install rogue anti-spyware and fake security programs without your knowledge. When you attempt to watch certain adult/porn videos, MediaCodec may pretend to be a necessary codec or upgrade to Windows Media Player to trick you into downloading it. Once MediaCodec is downloaded it may contact remote servers and download rogue anti-spyware applications, such as SpywareQuake.
