(and I got the spelling right this time!!)
On my Win7 system I was trying to watch some videos of format *.mkv,
but I needed a new codec so went to https://www.windows7codecs.com/
and clicked on the Download button and got this message
"https://www.windows7codecs.com/G:\Temp\windows.7.codec.pack.v4.2.5.setup.exe.part
could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred."
and my AVG anti-virus started up and opened a screen saying it had
been quarantined ....
"Threat secured. We have moved qWtOEP1H.exe.part to your Quarantine
because it was infected with Win32:Malware-gen."
My SM Download Manager shows that I've downloaded 10.6 MB of 44.3MB
(over four attempts)!
Should I be worried??
If I should be thankful that AVG saved me from myself, does anyone
have a suggestion as to how/what I can do so I can watch these (15GB
of) video files??
TIA
It was probably a false positive. The site is legit.
I am using K-Lite code pack Full for ages. mpc-hc works a little
smoother for me in most cases. As a backup vlc for the others. Nothing
else needed.

Thanks for your reply, Frank-Rainer
I'll try again .... and then probably try VLC!
