Zlob.Fam.VidCodecs Trojan

Removing Zlob.Fam.VidCodecs
Categories: Trojan,Popups
This loose category includes a variety of Trojans that damage victim machines or
threaten data integrity, or impair the functioning of the victim machine.

Multi-purpose Trojans are also included in this group, as some virus writers
create multi-functional Trojans rather than Trojan packs.
Adware is the class of programs that place advertisements on your screen.
These may be in the form of pop-ups, pop-unders, advertisements embedded in programs,
advertisements placed on top of ads in web sites, or any other way the authors can
think of showing you an ad.

The pop-ups generally will not be stopped by pop-up stoppers, and often are
not dependent on your having Internet Explorer open.
They may show up when you are playing a game, writing a document, listening to music,
or anything else. Should you be surfing, the advertisements will often be related to
the web page you are viewing.
