What are the chances of getting a virus while using utorrent?
Q. I am using a mac book pro with the osx operating system, and i am thinking about using Utorrent to get music, but i don't want to ruin my mac.

A. Reality Check for all computer users;

The moment you choose to download files from the internet period regard less of whether you are using Mac, Linux, Unix, Windows, etc...you are putting your computer at risk.

That said Torrents are very high risk downloads when it pertains to security issues, and must be done using the utmost caution. When ever you download files via torrent you should always scan them. I recommend Norton Antivirus or a free but great alternative AVG. I believe there are versions for Mac.

Just keep in mind a virus, or other related programs can be embedded in any file period. Furthermore, just be cause you use Linux, or Mac as your operating system (I am a Linux user btw.) does not protect you from viruses. However the odds of catching a virus is lower when compared to more popular platforms.

So just to end my explanation; using the internet places your computer at risk, downloading files regardless of where those files come from, places your computer at risk, browsing websites places your computer at risk. Even so I not saying you should be paranoid or anything, but you should not be lowered into a false sense of security either (that's a lot worse than be paranoid).

Have fun with your torrents, and remember to scan your files, especially executables and scripts before using them, and you should be fine. I run Gentoo Linux and I scan all of my downloaded files before use!

Hope this enlightens you!
