Torrent sites DO care about there reputation and a hell of a lot more than PORN sites you mentioned. Porn sites will trash your compouter WORSE than torrents sites. For that matter, Facebook needs to be RED tagged for the worse privacy problems, hackers, trash, and definately NOT safe!

I beg to differ! I used a torrent to find out how to create a .torrent, and did a few test downloads and got hacked after 5 minutes. Torrent site, safe? Give me a break. Facebook needs to be red tagged definitely. Porn sites: Never got hacked, you just need to find really safe ones that DON'T REQUIRE DOWNLOADS.

Blame yourself for your stupidity not the torrent site... Use some common sense and you won't get a virus.

i got one virus on a torrent site, and it was actually a false positive from my antivirus software. "keygens" are not malicious.
as for porn sites, I have never been to one, and i never will be to one, but i have heard that it is nothing but spyware and other crap.

Stop using the BS OS called Windows (whatever)...
Linux is the way to go!

I've downloaded a lots of torrent files and I don't remember getting any virus...OH! I am running Ubuntu in my computer...OK!

What about phishing, spamming, computer scams nobody is safe on the web not even mobile devices

Get a Mac. Yes - I do agree to some extent. If you are a computer tech you will understand that Macs are susceptible to multiple hardware issues, and parts are extremely expensive. Although, Apple does not get viruses, but you have to pay a pretty penny for that feature. Linux.. See above

Even tho apple computers are virus proof they also are hard to install things like softwares and things like that
