Your answer:
This site doesn't gives you a virus, unless you download a media or content linked to third party sites..
this site has the user based content, which is a part of large population, the user can be you or any one else, who might be a hacker... if you donot trust a person don't download it.
or if you want to download then scan it first with updated antivirus
or free online antivirus serivce

nope, unless you go to a blog and the content on the blog give you a virus.
there's things going around that there's a few blogs that apparently will report you to the fbi for something bad that you didn't do. that was ages ago though.
