I 've downloaded the newest Divx Codec and was really surprised, because I caught 'gator'. Gator is a kind of spyware. It is not a virus, but It 'calls' home to an advertisement company.

My firewall refused the Homecall.

I wanted to get rid of the program with the utility adaware. This is a utility to be 'aware' of 'ad'vertisement. The utility was able to clean up the registry, but not to delete the program.

You will find the program in the directory You installed divx. It is not easy to delete, because the program is in use. I restarted my win98 to stop after 'DOS' was loaded, then i killed the exe on the command line.

Is it possible to install DIVX without that spyware?
