Hello.
I'm looking for a little help as to guage how much risk using "Torrent Software" will cause my Mac (MBA 2012 10.8.2)
I've historically downloaded onto a PC, scanned the files and then flash drived them over to the device i wanted. However, that PC is over 10years old, and starting to be unreliable.
If i use a trusted Torrent Client/SE on OSX am I running the risk of Virus/Trojan/Malware/Bots? (I use the collective phrasing because no Virus exisits for mac, but people do use that word to describe many different forms of coding sourced software problems/attacks)
