Hobo has said very much what I would've but for one thing, how do you expect to find protective software, like an AV app, on the P2P network swarming with viruses? Don't you think that the first thing virus writers would do is plant their viruses in bogus Norton (and similar) products.

The way to remain safe is to get your protective software from official sites only, anywhere else is just asking for trouble. And the next and most important thing to do is always keep your wits (and common sense) about you. Because most people who tend to get clobbered with viruses, worms and fall victim to scam sites seem to have one thing in common, a temporary failure of common sense.

Keep safe by using proper software from officials sites and always think about what you are about to do.

Stay safe.
