Read the Eula
If you download a lot of software, it can be tempting to just skip over the End User License Agreement without actually reading it. This is not a good habit to get into. Some programs have some pretty dubious conditions of use hidden in the legalese of their EULA's. For example, by digitally signing the EULA, you may have given the application developers explicit permission to collect information such as surfing habits and transmit it back to their servers. In other words, you may inadvertently give permission for intrusive, and sometimes unstable, adware to be installed on your computer. If this intention to collect information from end users is not mentioned in the EULA, then the program can be thought of as containing spyware, although the end result is the same. Furthermore, anti-spyware scanners such as Ad-Aware will not always flag information-gathering components if their existence has been noted in a EULA.

Trojan is the worst of all virus both on computer system and mobile phones......

[darkside]

i would say trojan because i had a bad experience with it

[Sooshi]

Malware can be a nasty bit of work too. Especially software that pretends to be an antivirus program but instead wreaks havoc on your computer!

I do agree with the EULA. So many people don't bother reading it because, well, it's so long. But it is a good idea. Although I'd say most of the time there's not much to worry about, especially if what you're downloading is from a trusted source like Google and such.

Most spam e-mails are blocked, and getting viruses through e-mails is a possibility but not as much. Bigger possibilities for viruses come from pop-ups and users not reading the content before clicking on the popup. So, let that be a lesson. Get pop up blockers
