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.

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.
