As far as warez go if u are using a good tracker (demonoid and eztv are the only ones I use).you are pretty safe. But its a good practice to read the comments and do a good av scan anywaye.

I once got a bad virus from the pirate bay once while downloading a copy of network magic the wreck my whole os. So I'd avoid using them.
Wrong again. I have plenty of evidence to the contrary. Also there are viruses that use fake file extensions, like naming something .mp3 or MPEG4 when it's really an executable file, a .exe. Happens all the time.
