You should scan every file you download from the Gnet with an AV program. But the only way to be completly safe is to not download *any* .exe, .rar, or .zip files. Good luck.

Downloaded a Keyhole program and got infected with a trojan. It added Elitebar and many other malicious programs to my computer. I do not remember exactly which keyhole download it was but be careful.
