And these days even for downloading, I verify the website first. Dont wanna be phished!! Especially with antiviruses, spyware remover...etc. Always check the website you are downloading from. Another thing you waould want to avoid is Orkut links and Java scripts. (I heard it is possible for a virus to be spread simply through Orkut scrap books. Now, how true it is, I haven't had the time to investigate.) I never click links online. And these days even for downloading, I verify the website first. Dont wanna be phished!!
