HeroCodec

Posted: April 30, 2009

HeroCodec is a fake codec pack, and much like Luxe Codec XP and PC Codec Pack, it uses malicious tactics both to spread its influence and to sell its bogus product. This parasite typically enters the system by using the Zlob trojan and tries to trick you into purchasing the HeroCodec pack by feeding you misleading information. The HeroCodec implies that you cannot play certain types of media without owning it. This rogue displays false pop-ups and error messages when you try to play video and audio files.
