The codec link looks like some affiliate link to axmediasoft.com which is related to aximageobject.com in the whois, both go to forbidden pages. Anyone wanna download the file on a corrupted pc and see what it does, I can't seem to find where the affiliate program originates.
Yes, I did and I can't see what Will and others are referring to - for me it doesn't redirect to a 3rd party site, it just modifies the GET url to replace the ref code with theirs. However if there is no referer code in the GET URL, it somehow gets modified at the processor.

In either case, this IS easy to tackle at the sponsor level - it just requires minor backend modification on how they track affiliates.
