How do I download stuff in this community safely?

Great ways to be safe online (and when it comes to downloading) include:

- Good VPN(s). (https://nordvpn.com/ -- Arguably the best one out there currently.)
- Good Anti-Virus. (https://www.malwarebytes.com/ -- Another exceptionally good anti-virus, especially the Premium version; Otherwise, it's totally free!)
- VirusTotal.com. (This won't always mean you're 100% safe, but it's always nice to check it.)
- Research. (It's always great to do a little research on the item you're downloading, especially if you pirate.)
And here's the most important one;
- Common Sense. (Not a lot of people have this anymore, however, having good common sense will make it very easy to be safe online.)

I use everything that you've said actually xD
Apart from NordVPN.

Using common sense help and also checking the personals rep and the comments

Sometimes it's fine to reiterate, my apologies though; Some people can just be really stupid.. :sip:

Although, I find my post more structured and a little more informative than yours.. IMO.
