Please note that with the advent of long file names, you can name a virus like this:

"Celtic Love Song.mp3&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp.exe"

The filename is too long to fit in most file name description areas, so all you see is "Celtic Love Song.mp3" Thinking this is a standard MP3 file, you download it, then double-click it to pull up your associated MP3 player.

Because this file is really an executable, it would then run the associated virus, infecting your system.

Be wary of any download, check it thoroughly before running it.
