Downloaded a Vista Codec Pack which had a Trojan. Thankfully my antivirus software was able to detect it. Wouldn't want anyone running the risk though. This website is unsafe and unreliable.

This site has distributions that contains virus and Trojans. It is therefore not recommended to install the codec repacks as they are the most common way to lure people into install malware. Se also http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/free-codecs.com/summary/
for reference.

Even though it hosts the virus software from avicodecpack.com, it does warn about the adware, so it is really safe. :)

Site is as safe as possible. Excellent codec packs . I have the Vista Codec Pack installed and do not need any other to play DVD's or listen to any file extension. There is the matter of the Law when it comes to Copyright . Some Countries allow it some don't . So check before you download and install a Movie Ripper.
