Dont listen to the people above me
I have Downloaded Many games and music by p2p networks like limewire, frostwire , and bit torrent and most of their files are clean and have no viruses

to tell you the truth some do have viruses and Trojans but if you have the latest spyware and virus protection any kind will get rid of all those things quick but you have to look carefully at what you download before you choose to download and if you do get a virus or spyware they are weak and can be easily removed I’ve had some before, but they are easily dealt with

in other words NO PAIN NO GAIN hope this helps you find all the free PC games you want

I have download many PC games and some are really fun!!!

the best places you should try are torrent sites but you need a torrent DOWNLOADER like

bit lord, bit commet , U torrent, or bit torrent oh and limewire works with torrents too

places to look for free pc games
http://www.bittorrent.com/(this is to download the torrents)
http://btjunkie.org/ ( example of torrent site you can go to)

The answer is maybe.

If you are trying to steal games using a P2P software such as Limewire, then you will definitely be hit by a virus, eventually. And probably sooner than latter.

If you are trying to download a game from a web-site, one with a real URL, not like Limewire….then you may or may not be safe.

I would suggest a that you add the free SiteAdvisor ( like the other dude mentioned). SiteAdvisor can help "weed-out" bad sites. It’s good stuff. you can get it at :

Enjoy and have a fine holiday season.

Sounds like you are asking "How safe it is to have sex with someone you don't know ?" Either way, you are exposed to risk of catching viruses. And you know it is not easy to get rid of, either from your computer or yourself.

It is beyond doubt, VERY risky and most of the time illegal (if it's a game in the shops that your getting for nothing). If you want to keep your computer virus and spyware free, you would not download these types of files.
