My husband recently downloaded a bunch of music and a virus onto our computer. What are the worst offenders for viruses and other problems like spyware?

A lot of the time, the file sharing sites that allow you to download music, video, and other files are full of viruses, adware, and spyware. One way to prevent them from infecting your computer is to save the download and scan it with an antivirus before you open it. Alot of the adult sites are also full of viruses. Just make a habit of scanning any download BEFORE you open or install it to help protect your computer. These nasty files are EVERYWHERE now days. Good Luck!
