Most malware is downloaded along with webpage code. Most often this code comes down when clicking a link on the web or in an email, be weary of ads as well. Another word of caution, beware of fake "Codec" installations. A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data stream or signal. The word codec is a combination of 'compressor-decompressor' or, most commonly, 'coder-decoder'. If you get a message stating that "a new Codec needs to be installed to view this." Be absolutely sure that it is valid prior to installing it.
