Have you not tried the usual security steps? Have you got antivirus software ? If so which one and does it have the latest updates. If not then INSTALL ONE!!! Absolute must nowadays.
Can either buy one or go for one of these freebies - AVG or AVAST.
Ensure you have the latest updates.
Remember, only ever have one antivirus intsalled at any given time.

Next you also need spyware removal software. Divocodec is some form of malware, so you would need spyware removal tools.
Again, try the free AVG one. Problem with some types is it does not always get removed. I found (used it on trial) adware away was a good one.

Download and run Hijack This.

You could post the log here or google hijack this analyzer and do it thru there - it should tell you what should be removed.

Another bit of security software that you should have is software firewalls - free ones are around, I am currently using commodo and its good enough for me. I use Sygate on my desktop PC though.

I cannot verify as I have never suffered from it.

Note, if you uncomfortable with playing with the registry then dont do it, as accidental changes can mess your computer.
