Just a question.

I'm kinda new with downloading addons from this site. Is there a possibility that there could be any virusses in a download? I wanna download this: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...info.html#info but I wanna make sure it's safe.

Thanks

This website is very safe. It wouldn't hurt to just scan the file once downloaded. I know they screen/scan all files that come through and are put on their website.

We do indeed look through the contents and virus scan every upload on the website. Of course if you don't want to take our word for it and really want to be safe, you can still scan it once you've downloaded it.

Hehe, there is no source of data on the internet you should trust enough to not scan a downloaded file.

In addition, we have an md5 checksum generated for each file uploaded. You can check what you download against what we've approved to go on the server.
