Riyo Codec

Do NOT install Riyo Codec

I installed this codec and it corrupted the registry.

It deletes all the registry keys that are required to unstall programs.

The only registry key thats left (for unstall) is for VideoHeaven (which is this codec)

If anyone have installed it and if you go to:
Control Panel > Add Remove Programs

You WONT see the remove button for any of the installed programs.

Hope it helps. . .

Riyo Codec's download link leads here:
hqcodec.net

This little goodie is installed:
hqcodec4279.exe

RiyoCodec states that there is no spyware…they just don't mention the "hijack" that comes with the installation of the infested codec.

I would suggest you get them from here
