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.

Which websites have really bad computer viruses on them?

Sites that don't have the certificates are more prone to spreading viruses. If the content of the website is objectionable, then you might get objectionable results by interacting with such a site. You can always set your browser settings to be warned of no certificate sites, or for them to be blocked. and if you do end up interacting with such a website, then try not to download anything, and have a good anti-virus working. "Free downloads", "free pornography", spam oriented, are a few examples of sites that are more prone to leaving a virus on your computer.

What are some free download sites?

Downloading from free download sites is stealing. Stealing is against the law. You can go to jail for breaking the law. Kapeesh? If that doesn't persuade you to stop, ask yourself: do you ever get something for nothing? Most "free downloads" (or, as they are more accurately known, illegal downloads) are riddled with viruses and worms. Also, illegal downloads have usually inferior quality to legal downloads. Really, the cons outweigh the pros in this one.
