It depends upon what your goal is. If you enjoy downwloading random files that you know nothing about from sites that you know even less about, then go ahead and let us know how it turns out.

Here's a discussion that you should read.

Quality of Virus Scanners

Then do a google search for "how to download clean files".

What type of file extension are we talking about here?

Where on the internet?

What's the purpose of the file?

What ever you do don't mistake a polished file for a Polish one.

It might not be what you want.

So how clean do you want to have it?

What about a bastard file? A brand-new one would be clean.

Don't forget a handle, OSHA doesn't like files without handles.

When my file gets on the CB radio, its handle is 'crosscutter.' (See, because the 'teeth' of the file are cut at two overlapping angles.)

Short answer is if you run winblows you don't really "want" to download a "dirty file", but who cares about what you want, often old Bill downloads it without your permission. Now considering your OS choice, you 're not.. informed enough to give or deny such permission anyway, so why bother? If you run linux you don't really care all that much. Pretty basic. S.M.
