What is a Trojan?
MediaCodec is a Trojan.
A Trojan is a malicious and destructive code that is embedded in what appears to be legitimate or harmless software, but then it hijacks your computer and quickly spreads to do it’s damage, such as ruining the files on your hard disk. A common and most treacherous type of Trojan is a program that claims to remove viruses and spyware from your computer but instead installs the spyware onto your computer. A Trojan is similar to a Backdoor and may be widely redistributed as part of a computer virus.
