Answer»

i had a file like this before but theres another on  my computer before but when i removed a trojan called oxo.exe it seemed to go away well a file like this is back and it keeps popping up to allow or block for my firewall (comodo) i dont think i ever installed anything like this before either the file name is HDVIDEOCODEC_VER1.50065006500-3652CD4E.pf (i searched for the file) located in c:/windows/prefetch
