"While browsing the Internet for movies – *cough* pr0n – people often end up downloading some DRM protected material, bundled with a license that uses social engineering tactics to push the victim into dowloading a "codec". These supposed codecs are downloading and installing malware… Sunbelt's blog* frequently posts fake codec site URL's to avoid. Good Guys. Kurt Wismer also has some good advice**: Get a good media player that handles multiple formats, and then be very suspicious of anything else prompting you for a new codec."
