    There is no torrent site without viruses, torrents can have any content whatsoever. You have to know what you're downloading and what to look for. If you're downloading programs then a large fraction of them will have a trojan attached, and you either need to know how to extract the real program (requires quite a bit of security knowledge and experience) or you have to rely on the word of others as to what is and isn't infected. Always check comments on torrents.

    And don't use AVG, it's cheesy. Use Avira or Avast, they are far superior anti-virus.

    It's illegal to down load copyrighted torrents and you'll wind up in trouble. My spouse and i recommend utilizing a VPN service when accessing torrents. I am using http://www.vpnmaster.org/ theypermit torrents on their European VPN servers.
