I have a basic question

Hallo.

I have a basic question.

I am downloading some files using emule.

I am new to this and I don't want Virus/Trojan/Spyware all over my computer.

Is there a way to scan the files before they can harm my computer?

I am not so tech friendly
so please write your answer in a non tech terms as possible.

Thank you very much.

Re: I have a basic question

Hello and welcome to TSF.

As stated in our NEW INSTRUCTIONS - Read This Before Posting For Malware Removal Help page, we do not condone the use of p2p file sharing programs like eMule.

Best way to protect your computer is to stay away from them. This practice can make you vulnerable to data and identity theft. Please read this sticky:

Perils of P2P File Sharing
