This person will be spamming people's answers and advertise this site called answer-video.com and you'll have to download something. When the download's done, you try to double click it and it says that a problem has occured. Then a codec will pop up saying something went wrong. And if you click ok, your Antivirus program will popup saying that it's a trojan. I recommend you not to click it or else your PC will be infested with virus.

It's a site that will try and download a Trojan horse fake media codec. There are spammers on here who post links to these sites.

Simply right-click then click Quick Scan, it'll scan links and will let you know if it's malware.

No, its a virus. Its a type of malware, etc.
