Just a quick question for all you techies out there.
I have always in the past downloaded software to my hard disk and then run them from there. I then end up with scattered directories of various types with all sorts of stuff that in 6 months time... due to obscure file names I have no idea what they are aor do. (and yes I know I should be more organised but hey...)
Ok so the question is - with much faster dl times now I now tend to just run them... am I exposing myself to any security risks... I am assuming it is still downloading to the HDD somewhere and therefore the antivirus program still gets to vet it...but
Is this the case... Please let me have your opinions
Thanks
