u guys are so stupid. This is what i do. I go to library and do all of it and check if its legit then i bring it home on a junk drive. Also dont do it if your library makes you register first before you can use the computers. This is because if anything is wrong with the computer after your done they will know it was you and will make you liable.

COME ON!!! The Web is GREAT!Any newbie watching this vid should not be too scared. If you download from sites like Limewire you will get viruses but most of em just slow your pc down or cause some potentially embarrassing pop ups (porn).But this can be fixed!!!Just look up the FREE tutorials, download the FREE software and feel good about yourself for winning the fight, eventually! Its all about the learning curve.

Concerning tip 2:Be careful with PAID products and services as well as the free ones. Free does not necessarily mean infected, although some bad free stuff exists.Just because you have to pay for something DOES NOT mean you can trust the provider.Especially when a paid product or service gives you unwanted charges to your credit card or bank account. Or if the pay site charges you to download something you could've gotten for free from an official trusted site, such as Firefox or Skype.
