It could contain viruses etc etc plus the more garbage you have on your computer the slower it will run.

I flap when I use the internet full stop.

Answer 5

No, I scan it for viruses malware etc first.

Answer 6

Install the McAfee Siteadvisor plug-in to your browser

http://www.siteadvisor.com/

It'll show whether the site you're downloading from is safe or not.

Answer 7

No, I just download them to my desktop and then scan them with my anti-virus before I actually open them.

Answer 8

well, it's quite obvious to tell if you're getting something nasty. first look at the name, if it says something like xxxbabes.exe then obviously dont download it. if the file size is less than 1mb, then it may be a harmful file, and if it comes from a site with lots of x-rated adverts or popups then it may be harmful as well. as long as you go through these checks there's no reason to flap.

Answer 9

Best to do a virus scan of all you download, before you use the programe.  It,s also a good idea to know what you are downloading .
