Every time I follow someone's video instructions on how to "easily" install some texture pack, 1) the website installs a bunch of malware, and 2) it tries to install Chrome. Yuck.
The last video I tried to use wanted me to chuck my copy of Minecraft and use their French version and "change it to English." Sheesh!
Does anyone know where I can get a clean copy of the Forge installer (no malware attached) and Shaders MOD for 1.7.9? I'd dearly like to try them. Oh. and some clear instructions that don't involve destroying my copy of Minecraft? Thanks.
Resource packs (i.e. texture packs) are very easy to install, no chopping of anything needed. Open the "Minecraft" folder on your hard drive. You'll see a folder called "resource packs." When you download one you just put the entire zip file into that folder. That's it, nothing complicated with the current versions of the game.
Sadly I haven't installed any shaders so I can't help you much there. When downloading mods and such, I stick with this site & curse.com's hosted mods. While most mods here are hosted elsewhere, the comments are a good clue as the reliability of the files you'll be directed to.
Protip: Wait until the yellow "Skip Ad" button appears in the upper-right corner. Any other buttons that say "Download" or "Download Now" or anything of the sort are malware. Also, resource packs should always be .zip files, NEVER .exe files.
As for Forge... I don't believe that it's been updated to 1.7.9 yet. I think the latest version is still 1.7.4.
For shaders, just make sure to follow the above advice and, again, NEVER download a .exe file. Shaders should be in either .zip or .jar format. Make sure to read, understand, and follow the installation instructions.

Resource Packs are really easy to install. The other two who replied pretty much covered the whole thing with downloading resource packs, sooo thats that. And if you have questions about going to your minecraft directory just open Windows Explorer (Just any directory period. e.g. My Documents, Downloads, etc.) and click the search thingy on the top. Type in "%appdata%" and boom you're in your minecraft directory. And for shaders I recommend watching Keralis' video on installing shaders. Just search it up Youtube. He's pretty famous.
You can also just start Minecraft, go into Options/Resource Packs and click the 'Open Folder' pack, and then download any packs out there and drop the zips into there. Select pack and you're done.

I did watch Keralis' video, and the links were to the aforementioned sites full of malware.
RUDDO plays is just a code thief, he stole and is earning and taking credit from code that SONIC ETHER wrote for SEUS....with a few edits here and there. It won't be long till he is forced to stop in a legal capacity and that site is take down.

As for forge, this is the official site: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?action=files No malware involved there.

Get your packs off of Curse.com instead. There shouldn't be any malware on there, and if there is you can easily report it to get it removed quickly.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/940974-175sonic-ethers-unbelievable-shaders-v101/ The official SUES shaders download page.
http://rudoplays.com/shaders-core-mod-now-released-no-more-bugs/ The page for the mod core, although I am pretty sure it is only for 1.6. But it safe.
I am an artist. All the art you see on my profile is by me, if it's not I will say so and whom its owner is.
