Next, I install my trusty NOD32 which has 0 false positives in the 9 years I've been using it since v2 (and to prove, check out its false positive score here > )Īs soon as I installed NOD32 and updated it, it informed me about a virus that is running on startup, I removed it and rebooted, then I try to play a video, then I got another warning that madVR is infected with some virus. I installed the codec pack, opted out of installing his hacking/virus toolbars that he wants the whole world to forcefully install to make money out of people.ġst gripe, I had to make a ton of option changes to make LAV the default codec used for everything and every format, it's not one click, you have to specify "use LAV" for every format.

I had no antivirus but this was a clean Windows 8.1 installation I haven't even browsed the web or used my computer (other than visit MG offcourse) So, basically, please take my warning about this if you are ever looking for extra codecs for Windows.Ĭlick to expand.they are not false positives, last month, I thought of installing the SharkHacker007 Codec Pack instead of manually installing ffdshow, LAV, and madVR I also didn't like the way Shark007 referred to the K-Lite Codec Pack as the 'K-Crap Pack', this displayed a lack of professionalism & integrity not too mention immaturity, imho.
To finalise here, I myself posted on Shark007s website forum some time ago and didn't like the way he suggested for me to download his "own special version, with security enhancements" of Media Player Classic. Here is the short 40 second video clip, the comments on that page also reveal extra info about this. I had some problems a while back with this particular codec pack and decided not to bother with extra codecs for Windows again, so just installed VLC with its own internal codecs.Īnyway, I am not alone in this and recently found a video posted on YouTube of someones desktop finding serious malware from this codec pack, downloaded directly from shark007s own website, NOT some 3rd party site. I believe that this codec pack was, and maybe still is getting recommended by this excellent site. I have wanted to post a message to warn people about malware being spread by Shark007s Codec pack for a while but have been off of the web for a bit.
