HeroCodec is a fake Windows video/audio codec that is marketed as a tool that facilitates improving the quality of multimedia content you have on your computer. HeroCodec penetrates into its target systems unnoticed due to the latent activity of backdoor trojans that accompany its malicious unregistered version. HeroCodec may configure your system to display its own “Warning! Fatal error!” misleading wallpaper stating that there is a critical problem with the media files in your system and thus you need HeroCodec registered version to fix this trouble, otherwise, as this wallpaper claims, you won’t be able to play any multimedia on your machine. HeroCodec’s primary goal is to get you to purchase the full version of this malicious application. HeroCodec is a useless tool. It is highly recommended to delete HeroCodec from your system if it has been detected.
