The simple answer is "yes." Whenever you download anything from the Internet, you run the risk of downloading a virus, spyware, Trojan and other malware. You should always be careful where you go on the Internet. Even very popular sites can fall victim to malware. For example, hackers have mined MySpace and many file sharing websites with spyware and Trojan Horses disguised as free songs and movies to attract users. If you use the Internet, you should at the very least have an antivirus, anti spyware and firewall installed on your computer. There are plenty of free security software so there is no really good reason not to do so. You can find free security software at www.filehippo.com

You can get a virus by downloading just about anything. Just download and save it somewhere. Then scan it with your anti-virus program before you open or run it.

Well you might. There is always a chance that you can get a virus when you download something.
