Aren't modern OS already packaged with the basic and most used codecs? Is there any reason to install a codec pack on a Windows 7?
What are those reasons? Where can someone look for safe codec packs? I ask this because there are a lot of codec packs on the internet and some of them are just a package of malware. I had some troubles with Shark007's codecs... and I thought I could call it secure, but not anymore.

Actually, K-Lite and CCCP are both good and safe codec packs for Windows.

I'd second (third?) CCCP with a craveat- with intel video adaptors, the h264 implementation in windows is significantly better than both the CCCP and VLC implementation (due to hardware acceleration). I'd say cccp is probably good enough, unless you use intel for video, in which case, switch to the native DXVA codec
