Blah, been there, done that. I used to dl alot of stuff when I first got my PC, now after havign to re-install Windows I have stopped dl'ing anything I am not famialr with. Even the things I am familiar with I am hesitant in trying. It just such a hassle to get rid of if you do get infected with something. You're better off doing without unless you like having to re-install everything over & over for the opportunity at dl'ing- then go for it.

i am a download junkie. i am careful when it comes to downloading anything on my computer from anything on the internet. i had done that before and got so many viruses which destroyed my computer system. and promised myself to never do it again. and so, i did not anymore after that.
but i guess the worst thing i did on my computer when i started here in myLot is by not letting it sleep for straight two days. i just am so addicted here in myLot that i can't turn it off. i just sleep for some hours and upon waking up, i am on myLot again.
but that was me before. now, i let my computer sleep when i am sleeping, too. which is for sure good for my computer... anne

I do not waste time in downloading junk stuff from the internet. Matter of fact is that I just quite avoid downloadable stuff. Even if it is extremely necessary(like upgraded version of Yahoo Messenger) I think twice before hitting the download button. It saves my time a lot and also saves the resources of my PC as well.
The best way to run your PC trouble free is not to download anything but for few skeleton programs.
Also do not trust free packages offered by 'Unauthenticated sources' - as it may turn out to be a spyware and may turn out to be a big security loopholes in your system.
While browsing internet it is the best idea to just stay indifferent from unnecessary junks if you intend to use your PC for some serious business. Otherwise, format/reinstall/service may become a daily affair to say the least.

I am also a download junkie, i just go on downloading mostly latest movies and games. I downloaded a software about improving orkut. after downloading i installed it, There was no improvement in orkut but a problem occured. the owner of the software was a hacker and he Hacked my account. I even talked to the hacker and he was a little good hacker. I requested him to return my account. After several requests he returned my account.
One thing i wanted to tell u all, that the same hacker is at Mylot also.
