How to download free games in a safe way?

Downloading video-games from the Internet can be dangerous sometimes. That's a fact, Viruses are getting more developed and harmful by time and if you don't take the necessary steps to get yourself protected, you will get hitting by soon or later.

No one likes a virus attack, it can totally destroy your computer, files and even your personal privacy!
Well, in this post, I'll give a few tips on how to protect yourself against any type of malware while you are downloading your best games for free!

1. Install an antivirus

This is the first line protection and the most important one. You can download whatever game from any random website and be enough safe if you have antivirus software installed and protecting you (well, that's just a joke)!

An antivirus is a very necessary and important software for every computer. And it doesn't matter if you want to use your computer just to edit word files or to download and play video-games in it. You will have to install an antivirus to stay safe, not even from the virus, it will protect you against spyware, USB viruses, etc...

2. Download the games from a trusted website

Of course! Do not expect the same content from everyone. If you want to download and install safe games, you will have to download them from a trusted provider. So, if you are not purchasing the game and downloading the cracked versions of them. Make sure that you choose the right website(s) to download from!

Well, the best part, bad websites which are full of crap and malware get usually exposed as fast as you can't expect them to do! How many users should get hit before one or multiple of them expose them on the Internet? I would say 10 as a max.

And here comes the best part. Before downloading any game online make sure that you check the reviews in some of the forums and review websites. It will take a few minutes of your time, but it will save hours or even days of them!

3. Pay for the game if you can

Well, downloading free games is a good thing to do. It allows you to save some money, and you can download and play as many games as you want!

But, you should keep in mind that downloading free games can be more (even if it's a little) dangerous than purchasing from the legal provider directly. After all, this game provider can be punished by the law, unlike the free games websites made!

Of course, you will be always okay if you download your games and take the necessary steps to protect yourself against any kind of malware or danger!

Conclusion:

Downloading free games from the Internet is something that literally and basically everyone does in their lifetime. Some people can't even pay for the games in the first place or it's hard for them to due (economic problems). But keeping yourself safe should be one of your top concernings and you will be fine!
