Hi Sarah,
There's no way you can be 100 % sure, you just have to go by what your
anti-virus program tells you.
One program might tell you it's infected, and others may say it's clean.
More often than not, if you are downloading files from a reputable site,
they will be clean.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Wow!! that doesn't sound good! Wouldn't want that virus. Glad I didn't
visit
the site yet.How do you insure that a file has no virus. I always assume
that if it's called
like .mp3 or something it wouldn't have a virus. I scanned a file once and
it the virus scanner said it was free and there were no viruses and so I
opened it and it jacked up my whole computer and deleted files and I had
to
pay to get it fixed.
