Make sure to run a virus and spyware scan both in regular mode and in safe mode. If you download a lot you're bound to pick up something nasty along the way, you must stay vigilant. I would recommend setting up some kind of virus/spyware scan daily, you can automatically set it to go off at your convenience. I have mine go at 3:17 a.m. so when I wake up at around 7, I can delete what it finds, then do it again in safe mode before I start work at around 8 or 8:30 (working from home kicks ass).
