If you do not have any protection to your computer, your system applications are at risk: in basic terms, your C:/ where all your critical computer operating files are stored. That is the first location a virus is designed to attack.

Why are free sites more vulnerable to viruses?

Here's why free sites are more vulnerable to viruses: Free sites use alot of advertisements to gain income, and alot of those advertisements may have links to viruses or pop-ups. Its not the sites fault that some advertisement has viruses because the site is only concerned with making money from those advertisements. Where as if a site is funded by a company, or another form of income, there is no need for advertisements, so there are very little if any viruses.
