    There is always a risk of getting a virus from any transfer from an untrusted source.

    Thanks for quick reply. To be honest I don’t know a whole lot about these free programs. What is untrusted mean in relation to this? it doesn’t have a certificate of authenticity or something along those lines? Would many people use this do you know?

    Thanks Again.

    Untrusted in this case means you have little way to see or verify who the download is coming from, so it would be difficult to determine its authenticity or safety until the download is complete.

    peer-to-peer programs like eMule are a recipe for disaster

    Use at your own peril
