My Windows 7 system was working fine. Now whenever I try to run any media file, the WMP app says that I am missing Windows codecs and pops up a window for me to download the missing ones. Like another poster to the forum, I noticed it was "Programm Compatability Manager" (with 2 ms). Clicking this link takes you to the totalcodec.com site asking you to pay money for the downloads. An ovious scam or virus. I have used Spyhunter to clean my system.
