The biggest risk when carrying out a download from the Internet is that the file in question can contain a computer virus. This becomes even more serious in the case of downloads from P2P (Peer-to-Peer) applications, given that there are a large number of viruses disguised under attractive names for the users. But using thepiratebay proxylist I never had a virus!

How to safely download and install software

1. First, check the website address.

2. Next, just use your eyes.

3. Use active virus and malware scanners.

4. If you don't trust the site, look for the software elsewhere.

5. Check that the download link is really the link you're looking for.

6. Avoid download programs and installers.
