100% download unknown codecs
Beware of Custom Codecs
from adultsave.org
While not particularly common, the potential danger posed by the misuse of custom codecs makes this an insidious threat: in our example, a visitor to a gallery post site will come across a free video gallery with particularly compelling text and preview images; once the user clicks on the link to view a sample video, he is presented with a webpage that contains an embedded media player; often an older version of Microsoft’s popular Media Player — and while the audio track is audible, the video screen is black and the webpage displays a note that “You must install this codec upgrade to view the video!” Clicking the download link is an open invitation to disaster as the unknown software being installed on the user’s system could contain any number of viruses and other unwanted entities.
Indeed, our analysis of these suspect pages show that the video does not require a codec upgrade and is using scripting techniques to render a black screen while the video plays — this fact demonstrates the ill-will of the website’s operators; the fraudulent nature of the “need” for a new codec; and the danger involved in downloading this unknown software.
It’s important to note that current software such as Microsoft’s Media Player, Apple’s QuickTime and other popular applications, come pre-installed with a variety of codecs that should suit most needs. Sometimes however, users need to install a new codec, such as the popular DivX; but this should only be done from the codec provider’s website — not from a page on an unknown website.
Embedded video players are also quite common and should not be viewed as menacing; but when in doubt about the need for any unknown downloads or upgrades, itÂ’s best to do a little research before agreeing to the installation, and always a safe bet to run a full virus scan after the install.
