When I tried to load the codec my security did not let it. I have mwbytes. If you have a virus you might not be able to access the google page to load mwbytes, even in safe mode, you might have to get it put on a disc. When I got a virus a year ago,(windows xp pro) went into tools clicked on last time worked got the internet back then loaded the mwbytes program.no problems since. gsa612

I'm sure it wasnt you. I saw a problem when I tried to load the Phoenix link I never got to the videos the problem I had was with the what ever program is used to view them

When ever you have an issue with spy and malware download update and run in this order:
SpyBot Search and Destroy
SuperAntiSpyware
MalwareBytes
ComboFix

Try to void using ComboFix as all your personalized setting will be reversed to default.. Run in the above order and unless you got a really bad one you generally don't need the last. If these don't fix it you may have to reformat your hard drive.

Toby I would hope no one is blaming you for this. They are just saying they got a virus downloading the videos. Hopefully that's the case. Thanks for the work. Ed

I dont understand why some get it and others do not, I have looked at all of Toby's video's and downloaded the codec. I have also run all the programs except Combofix and found nothing.

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?
