- Get a solid anti-virus (I recommend Avast)
- Only download programs you know you can trust
- Download programs from their official website, not some external one such as "Softonic"
- Always choose "Advanced options" when installing something new, some installers try to get you to install potentially harmful software which you can opt-out of when going through the advanced setup.

Hey! Thanks for letting me know but aside that, I DO install applications from the original site as I said I downloaded paint.net,gimp, and Graal. Sure paint.net and gimp were downloaded from the wrong place but what about Graal? I downloaded that and a bunch of viruses hit me too? And it was from the actual site too!
