If your friend is so greedy he should know that you can prevent an infection if you scan the files BEFORE you open them. It also depends which files you download, MP3 are safe, if you download pics donīt touch JPEGs all other should be safe. Beware from .exe files!!! Scan them before you open them.

Keep your Anti-Virus software updated at least every two weeks better every week.

Finally its not a good idea to post your eMail on a public forum, some idiots could sent you a virus through it.

The best protection is knowledge.
