– Bob – 2012-05-08T04:58:38.677If you're willing to be promiscuous in terms of downloaded software, you take the chance of getting infected. And there is no fool-proof way of avoiding infection. Intelligent decisions and care are required. If tools like MalwareBytes don't detect anything then you're PROBABLY ok... but the only certain way to know is to replace the computer (there are root kits that infect the BIOS so even wiping and/or replacing a hard drive may not be sufficient). – Multiverse IT – 2012-05-08T05:21:44.057
