NEVER trust software you download. For example, a downloaded bittorent client added a toolbar i EXPLICITLY asked not to have AND required a system restore to eliminate it. (the clue was that the download of a torrent i HAD NOT REQUESTED was proceeding while i could NOT Google).

NEVER trust software you download.

(NOTE: the original answer said something along the lines of "bittorrent client ok, but you can get a virus from things you download".... why did you trust the original bittorrent client download?)

Torrents do not have viruses unless you the final downloaded exe file has the virus. Most torrents downloaded from pirating websites and other warez-sharing places may have viruses in them so be careful when you download such torrents.

It is possible a torrent downloaded from Isohunt can contain a virus. The virus has less to do with which website the torrent was located and more to do with the torrent itself. It is always best to check the comments before downloading a torrent. Torrents are often used to violate copyrighted music and movie files which is an illegal act.

The torrent files you get from the internet do not contain viruses usually but the files you download from the torrent could have viruses. Be careful when finding a torrent.
