Be careful when you download new software. Â Download from the actual creator of the software as much as possible. Â Avoid getting software from bittorrents. Â If you do, at least look at the comments of the bittorrent you plan on downloading.
Search engines such as google are great for finding software, but not always the safest. Â Its best to get software directly from the organization that created not random sites.
For example, at one time “Joydownload. com” was among the top results for the “Yahoo Messenger” Â and other apps. Â But this site may have trojans in it.
