It asks to install a codec in order to view the content (codec.exe). When I did, it installed and now I get an icon in my notification area w/ a balloon warning or on screen applet warning of system failure, memory full, spyware/adware detected, etc. Here's the alarming part: I also cannot access Task Manager or regedit to fix the problem. Symantec's .inf file to fix that problem, doesn't. Further, I have performed full scans using Norton (NIS 2008), Symantec's online scanner, and a couple of other downloaded programs (which I've since uninstalled), which wouldn't fix the problem unless I paid for it. All came up w/ nothing. I had saved codec.exe, but deleted it when perhaps I should have submitted it to Symantec or others. These are the kind of headaches we are facing w. regards to unethical publishers like SpySnipe, and those who allow them to advertise. They must be snuffed oout before the do real damage.
