You should never get prompted for things like that. I recommend YOU DO NOT INSTALL IT!
Can I suggest you run spyware checks. Good free one's include the one from AVG http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us...
What is the suffix of the movie, is it actually .avi? What software are you using to play it, is it Windows Media Player?
If its a downloaded movie you need to be careful as there are always pratts who like to add in the odd spyware/malware etc.
If spyware suggests deleting that file then I would let it delete it. Better to be safe than sorry.

I did a bit of searching on google and it seems other people have proved its dodgy

check out gspot http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ it tells u info about the avi. It will soon tell you if its a proper file or not!
I have lots of codecs to play movies, the ones I use are k-lite mega codec pack
comes with media player classic which I use to play some types of files. The rest I use windows media player.

try using vlc player, http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
if it doesnt play then file is crap. Download another version
if u use mininova or piratebay, check out those threads with comments
and I suggest you dont post your email, you dont want unnecessary emails coming along now do you?

the 3wplayer software has been created with the sole purpose to undermine the P2P community.
The identity of the owner of the 3wplayer domain has been kept secret through a domainsByProxy service. It is not hard to imagine who desires the demise of the P2P revolution though --> MPAA

There is a software tool which can convert 3wplayer files back to normal video files. I tried it on many videos which could only be played on 3w player and it converted them all successfully, although a little slow. You can download it from here:

It is a clean software without any spyware or adware. I hope this info will help.

Hello, I have downloaded and opened the viewer using Visual Basic 6, it is a complete package of adwares programs, a trojan virus that is programmed to go fetch more adware every 30 seconds, and it seems that the DivoCodec is the same thing as the 3wPlayer. This crap is written to create random generated names and registry entries in Windows. its the real bad stuff.
As a solution, I and a friend wrote a "3W-Decoder" that takes the beginning crap off of the video so it is once again playable on any player.
It is a very simple to use program that you "Select the 3wPlayer" file and it will remove the gayness and allow you to watch the video.
The biggest problem is that I have found that dozens of the files are all the same movie.... For instance.... I downloaded 9 copies of the movie SHOOTER(2007) that were named with titles of other movies. One is some stupid German Language Movie that appears to be "HELL" in the title but everything is Deutch.
Not one of the movies I have downloaded is actually what the file name is. they are not at all legit. Just as good to delete them.
If you would like a copy of the decoder just to see what you got...

AVG and many other FREE and smaller companies wont detect it, Its new stuff
Keparski , Norton, and CalmWin(Linux Antivirus) will pick up the trojan virus in it, They dont even get all the adware, These guys are making new adware programs weekly it looks like, so you get new stuff that is not yet discovered by many Adware programs.
I think Calmwin will give you a free PC scan, The entire antivirus is free because it is Open Source,
It should get rid of your TROJAN and some adware... Go to the Calmwin website, and try the free scan,
What the trojan is.... A trojan is a Resident memory program that opens a port in the TCP/IP Protocol (Works through most firewalls) that then allows autonomous or automatic downloads to come to your PC, In this case, I bet it will be MORE ADWARE. Over time you will begin accumulating more and more Adware till your PC becomes unbarably slow. This will eventually result in a Format or System Recovery.
I got many of these details from the Symantec Online Threat Library, WinZix, HTTP LOP Adware, and 3wPlayer are all detected by Norton Antivirus and are listed on the threat library with details.
I noticed a folder that was also created under my PC named "Stop Barbed Dog" Its a RANDOM NAME GENERATED it will be diffrent on all PCs
Go to C:\
Doccuments and Settings
Michael (My User Name, Click on your User name that Installed the Program)
Application Data
There will be a weird generated folder under it, with atleast 4 or 5 single file adware programs copied under it, for me it was named "Stop Barbed Dog"
My Adware names were random generated stuff as well to throw off antivurus programs, the whole Folder can be deleted. - Empty the trash after.

3wPlayer is a rogue media player software application bundled with trojans that can infect computers running Microsoft Windows. It is designed to exploit users who download video files, instructing them to download and install the program in order to view the video. The 3wPlayer employs a form of social engineering to infect computers. Seemingly desirable video files, such as recent movies, are released via BitTorrent or other distribution channels. These files resemble conventional AVI files, but are engineered to display a message when played on most media player programs, instructing the user to visit the 3wPlayer website and download the software to view the video.
