“One of the ways that spyware gets onto your computer is by tricking you into installing a codec. Usually, a video file will be on a web page and you will be prompted to install a file to be able to view it. When a spammer posted a link to an adult site on one of the sites I visit, I took a look at it. The first thing on the site was a blank video and a message that I needed to download a codec to view the file. Installing the file brought spyware to my computer.”
