It is very unlikely any ISP would do this.
You are using the ISP as a transporter and they are not checking for the nature of what is being transported.
Except for very rare circumstances, the answer is NO.
Be sure to have a good antivirus on your machine and update it often. Further, be careful about e mail recieved and watch where you surf.

It might check to make sure the virus still works properly... :)
Nope, nope- there is no dangerous content checking on P2P filesharing programs. People can upload or download anything, so use them at your own risk.

No, however if you install some decent antivirus software, it will detect viruses as soon as they're downloaded, before you even start it. Antivir is a good AV software. It's available on the openlist:

Absolutely not! Most P2P (peer to peer) file sharing apps like this are full of virus and spyware. Don't do it.
