Remove Emcodec.e. Description and removal instructions

Title: Emcodec.e
Type: Trojans	Severity scale: (47 / 100)

Emcodec.e pretends to be an installer for ZipCodec 6.0, which is a fake codec for Windows Media Player. However, it is also a trojan that drops a widely spread parasite related to SpywareQuake and SpyFalcon infections. Once executed, the threat displays the setup screen. Then it installs itself to the system along with another parasite. After a while, Emocdec.e executes that parasite.
