There are a lot of fake files and virus filled files out there. ..... Be very careful about the size of file you try to download. If you think a game should be 100MB and you see a file for 1MB ... do not touch it ! Be patient and be careful and you will find what you want ... hopefully. BUT PLEASE ENSURE you have up to date anti-virus and anti-spyware software Installed and running . This is of the greatest importance!

Some files, when you try to download them, will always show " need more sourses" but will have connected with your computer all the same and are capable of exploring your computer to find which ports are open. I repeat that the security of your computer is essential...

I really advise people to avoid downloading this type of file unless they really know what they are doing

Be careful about downlding games, too many of them contain virii. Aim for cd images.
