The growing popularity of online video has caught the attention of malicious hackers and hi-tech criminals.
Security firms are reporting more and more instances of booby-trapped Windows codecs - file compressors - required to play some video formats.Some of the codecs let users play types of net-based video, but also have spyware and adware wrapped inside.
