It depends on the site of which your downloading a good and reputable websites are the best ones to download as they are more reliable. Some computer viruses are actually included in some downloadable materials so be very careful about this. I usually download the latest updates on the antivirus as this gives me more protection from latest computer viruses.

i download films most of them from p2p software and in that i am not able to find any hindi or such movies i usually download english movies , recently i downloaded snakes on plane.

I usually download from the internet. I think it was safe to download from the internet as long as the place or the sites you are download from is trusted. I usually download something like movies, musics, books, software and applications and many other things that i download from internet. Also you must have a good firewall and antivirus so your computer are safe from any viruses.

Yes I download plenty of stuffs from Internet. It needs just our carefulness that from which site or source we are downloading. Just see while downloading, that the downloading mirrors are good or not. Antivirus program you must have for security. If you need a better platform, then go for better OS like LINUX. Its safe or say safest. Thanks. Have a nice day in mylot. Bye.

You have to find popular download sites around the world. It's safe. You won't be afraid of viruses/trojans. download.com and tucows.com are the examples. I usually download many things from there. They provide many important applications, such as antiviruses. But mostly they were sharewares, in which you have to buy the license to get a full version.

it depends on what you downlad, what kind of files you download (executables or media files) ! All in all it is safe if you have an installed firewall and an anti-virus !

its absolutely safe and depends up on from what source you are downloading.

We are always downloading something, just make sure you have good virus software that is kept up to date

Depends where you are downloading from, and what you are downloading. I probably download (to my hard drive) music the most.

downloading is just make sure to scan all files with an anti-virus solution before opening or installing them on your hard drive,i recommend norton antivirus and internet security

yes i do download in the internet but i only download from trusted websites. i think that's what you should do because there are a lot of virus that we do not know now a days. just for precaution right.
