Just finished building my PC and I want to try my hardest to keep it free from any viruses/trojans/spyware.
But I need a codec pack to watch videos etc.
Are these safe to download?
I was looking at this one.....

Any thoughts?

ffdshow.
Don't install any codec packs.
Codec packs are bad

Is that a media player in itself?
Or does it just work alongside Windows Media Player?
Cheers,

It works just like a codec except it plays everything.
Only things it won't play are real and quicktime.
