That countdown is for the download of all block chains. Before this is done you wont be able to use your wallet. Its pretty much impossible to create a local wallet on the fly now, as theres too much data to download. Also if you lack the knowledge this is risky. Better choose a trusty online wallet. Do some research before registering, as online wallets tend to be hacked and robbed. Its up to you to find one that is safe enough, I dont want to name you some and then get blamed if you lose money.
