Problem with Codec-v
« on: August 28, 2012, 03:38:50 AM »
Hello, yesterday I was looking for some videos on the internet and unfortunately I downloaded the Codec V (the webpage said it was a necessary plug in and my antivirus did not say nothing about it so i downloaded it).

Now I cannot use any of the programs I was using while I instaled the Codec V (I this case, the programs are Google Chrome and a music-score creator called Sibelius)

I have tried many antiviruses, tried to reinstall those programs and nothings seems to work. I just cannot use them, so please If you could help me...

I have followed this topic : http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0  And have done what is written there so I'll add the attachments in orther (since I cannot add them all I will make a doublepost)

Hi,
Did you set up scheduled task as shutdown?
Code: [Select]
c:\windows\Tasks\shutdown.job
And how is your computer running now?

No id did not set up anything.

I have tried both programs (google chrome and sibelius) and both seems to work at 100% so I guess the problem is fixed already.

Thank you very much for your help.

Okay, that's it.



It is necessary to uninstall the ComboFix :
  • Click Start (or ) then Run.


    On Windows7 or Vista you may use Start Search field if Run is not available.

  • In the line of text type in (Copy) the following:
Code: [Select]
ComboFix /Uninstall
    Note that there is a space between " ComboFix " and " /Uninstall " .

    • then click OK (or press Enter ).
    Wait for the uninstall process is complete.




    > Re-run OTL and click on CleanUp! button.

    You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process, choose Yes.
    After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.
    Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTL. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.
