Provided you have av software and antispyware software, which you should have. If you don't have any get some (I have links at the bottom). The worm you are talking about is only going to attack you if you open e-mail attachments. I would suggest though that you run the removal tool from http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Download/downloadRemovalTool/521/1/Antinyxem-EN.exe\nIf you have it, run a scan from http://housecall.trendmicro.com. Then you should be fine. Good luck. Some good utilities to run in case you don't have protection are below (all of them can be used at the same time with no problems), but Ewido is only for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I would recommend that you download the rest of these though, (execpt Ewido if you don't have XP or 2000_. Good luck

try an internet security bypass website like ibypass.net (that one doesn't help downloads. you'll have to find a different one) ibypass will get you to websites that are blocked

Get McAfee VirusScanner and keep it updated

you can download and use AVG... but then you should spend a little bit of money and get ZoneAlarm Security Suite.. it is GREAT!!\n\nAVG will not stop you from getting a new virus.. only detect one when you run it... ZA will stop them

Go to the 'Security Center' control panel and switch the offending items (firewall, virus protection and automatic updates) to "I'll monitor it myself" or "Not monitored".\n\nMy recommendation for Automatic Updates, by the way, is either of the two middle options, "Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", or "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them".  That way, I get a notification, but Microsoft isn't doing anything to my machine without me knowing about it.

yes you can. you can get a virus from anything you download. my suggestion is to leave all the downloads in the same folder and use your virus scanner to scan it on a schedule.

I use a free reliable p2p application called shareaza\nhttp://www.shareaza.com\n\nAs with any other applications that accesses the internet, common sense and safe practices will help keep you from getting virii.\n\nThis app includes source statistics that will inform you if the download has potential threats to your system.

Just scan the file for viruses after you download it.  A general rule of thumb is don't download something like a "bios" update from a hacking site or anything that looks like it "might" not be legit.  Check the size of the file versus the size of the same file posted on other sites.
