   Hi
   
   Any file or sets that you download, when uncompressed could have malware in them, it really is not wise to not run a PC without Antivirus software, especially as there are some very good free ones available.
   
   This is a great guid eof ours with some ideas on how to protect yourself.

   Or could scan the downloaded file here http://virusscan.jotti.org/ it is very busy so you may have to wait a while, which is why having instaled AntiVirus is a better option.
