It links to a video that doesn’t play." Should read: "This file in particular is loaded through a pop-up window after the user clicks to request the viewing of a video in a porn site. It mentions a problem related to 'ActiveX' and suggests installing a missing codec". Installing stuff from a porn site is like sampling the offerings of a red district unprotected. It stings? FAIL!!!

Though I must say, the vast majority of users on the internet be it Mac or PC are novice users and don`t know any better. It is often up to experienced users such as yourself to educate them to not trust these `special`codecs as well as where these trusted sources are found. Thank you for your feed back guys.

It is relatively easy to create an installer using the Apple development tools. However, you have to be a complete IDIOT to install something like this. Custom video codecs are few and far between. You should be able to access videos using codecs from trusted sources. Don't trust "special" codecs. BTW – The installer IS REAL.
