A warning, K-Lite codec pack can install Infatica.

[pc1]

I recently saw unusual entries in my Asus router's AI Protection logs. I ran a full scan of windows defender, found nothing. I then ran Malwarebytes, it flagged Infatica as a pup. Infatica is a proxy service, and while it can have legitimate uses, it has high potential for malicious use. When you first install K-Lite codec pack, it will also install Infatica unless you deselect it. ( K-Lite codec pack updates do not install Infatica, just a full install). Just a warning to be very careful to not install Infatica during a K-Lite codec pack install. Anyway, I'm now planning a full system wipe and install of windows LTSC.

Good to know.

Yes, so many of my clients and friends will install a legit program but in their haste (I guess) fail to notice and uncheck boxes for McAfee Scan, Mindspring crap and so on ad nauseam then call me, I look at it and of course I hear "...but I didn't install that."
