Not sure if you have already heard this. But there are a lot of avi files going around on bittorrent that are supposedly using the new divocodec. These are not proper avi files and are just there to try and get u to install the divocodec and 3wplayer.

Both the divocodec and the 3wplayer are adware/ spyware/ viruses DO NOT INSTALL.

Unfortunately there is no way that I know of to check before u have downloaded the avi file to see if it is using the divocodec. This sucks as I spent a couple of days downloading a file to find out it was using this codec sad.gif
