definately a good idea to check over any files you download, and have a firewall running as well as antivirus. I have uploaded a couple of .exe items, made with winrar 3.0 as most people don't ( or didn't ) have that new a version. included in description, seen before downloaded was that it was a self extracting rar archive. if you do put an exe up, at least letting people know in information about file lets them choose weather or not to download it.
