I've got a few questions..

1. Is there any way to know the file that you have downloaded from a site is safe from any virus or backdoor program ie keylogger?

2. Before you actually download a file, is there any way to know that the link that you are about to press in order to download a file is safe or not?

I think I have more question about this but I can't remember what they are. ( it's midnight already )

thanks..
