there is risk of getting virus through some sites.better install mcafee virus scan and scan your computer at least once in 3 days.even if you down load any programme don't directly open the file. first you save it and scan it. it is always better to down load any thing from the sites by browsing through address bar only. many sites which give access to us through search contain virus.

You don't run or download anything from the internet without some risk. Just make sure you know where you are and what you are downloading, and why. If it is from a site you know and trust, then maybe the risk is smaller. Be very wary of FREE stuff from unknown sites. That's dumb.

It depends on the program it wants to install - and you need to make sure you have an up-to-date virus protection program running and update/run spyware removal programs *at least* once a week.

Yes. It will kill your PC. Don't download anything from untrusted website.
