"Fake codec trojans (so-called 'required' components to watch a video, but in fact are malicious trojans) are a plague on the Internet. We've written about them extensively.
"Often, they are seen in porn sites. However, by doing a few simple searches today, we can see that they're available to those simply doing American football pools, checking bank hours or searching for New Year's eve clipart. All of these are taking advantage of the free Blogger service."
