Sure dude, but before that just incase check whether the software is from a trusted source and you really need. If its bugging you just get it uninstalled

No.  WinInstall is not a virus but it looks like it will take up a lot of space and resources on your pc.  Hope this helps...

Yes they do and tons of it......... I've heard of peoples computers crashing from that place... If you go there, make sure you have a adware/spyware software that can get the stuff off your computer.

It would be like any other download site. Some are safe and some can have spyware. Best thing is to scan a file for viruses before you open it. Plus you might even run a program like Ad-aware after installing it.

There is a risk involved, but the level of risk depends upon WHERE you are downloading them from.  If you are downloading programs through reputable websites such as PCWorld.com or CNET.com, the chances are very slim.  If you are using a peer to peer file sharing program, the risk gets much greater.  It behooves you to ALWAYS run a virus scan on any file that you introduce to your computer prior to running it.

Only buy software like this from a store, do not trust download sites, these could be frauds.
