spyware quake 

Spyware Quake is a fake spyware-removal program that actually is spyware in itself. It is characterized by a gray-silver program that says it removes spyware. Also, two alternate HTMLs come up called "Online Security Guide" and "Security Troubleshooting". These come up as green and blue shield symbols with checkmarks. Your computer will continue to remind you that you are infected with spyware, even though these reminders are part of Spyware Quake itself. Spyware Quake is downloaded through VCodec.
Do not download VCodec, otherwise Spyware Quake will appear on your computer.
