I use Malwarebytes and it does a great job of cleaning up your computer.

Sometimes a virus will sit dormant for a while before you realize that you have one. I think it's just a coincidence that you noticed it after downloading the codec pack.

Jody thinks he got it from a website that has reviews for golf clubs.

To get to the Malwarebytes site, you might have to boot into safe mode with networking. To boot into safe mode hold down the F8 key as soon as your computer starts to reboot. You may have to release it momentarily a few time before it knows you are pressing it. Then select boot with networking.

If fact, it's probably better that you boot into safe mode when you do this.

We thought we got rid of the virus with Malwarebytes, but after using it with new updates a few times, it still would redirect you when you would click on a google search result.

Combofix found that problem. Hopefully the latest update for malwarebytes will take care of that problem also.

I got a virus trying to download these video's. I couldn't even use my computer. I finally got rid of the virus by running a full scan on my computer that took all night.

Well, I assure you I didn't put a virus in any of the videos.

Well, the program used to view them is windows media player. The codec pack is just a bunch of codecs.

Are you using AVG? It looks like AVG has been known to give a false positive on CCCP before.

If there were really a virus in CCCP, don't you think everybody that dowloaded it would be getting a virus?

I also got the warnings when I tried to load the stuff. So I just stopped the download and settled for coming back to this forum and looking at your picsand info. Toby, I appreciate what you do.

Thanks,

I use Norton, like I said I don’t think it was anything you did and I like everyone else I really appreciate your hard work and dedication. I don’t use the Windows media player I use something else I do have double firewall and my security is set pretty tight Norton did not like it so I just stopped the download. I did not pick up a virus or experience any other problems.
