Codec Performer | Free Download

It comes up almost every single page change while visiting TOTV and only on TOTV.

Just started yesterday and today it is far, FAR beyond annoying.

Is there a way to block a site like this?
This is Malware and you need to remove it.

The “Please Install Codec Performer Update” pop-ups happens regardless of the web browser or search engine, and if you are seeing this ad whenever you are doing a Google search or visiting a website, then your computer may be infected with adware or a potentially unwanted program.
This infection is designed specifically to make money. It generates web traffic, collects sales leads for other dubious sites, and will display advertisements and sponsored links within your web browser.

Go to this website to learn how to remove the malware:
