Many people enjoy watching movies. One way of watching movies today since there is high speed internet is simply streaming them on the internet. Most connections can download a whole movie while you watch it making it a very easy way to watch movies. There is a concern about watching movies. That concern is safety. There are two issues that should be in mind when watching movies online. The first is malware and the second is legality.
There are many sites online that say they have movies or movie downloads that are nothing more than malware. Malware would be viruses or spyware that can destroy your files or spy on your activities. You need to have an active virus and spyware scanner whenever using the internet to protect yourself and keep you safe from malware.
Just skip using torrents for movies. Rarely are these actually legal. Many times the movies on these sites are filled with malware or fake files. Your computer is at risk and it might not be legal.
To stay safe, go to sites that offer movies that you know are legitimate. These would be things like Hulu, network sites, Youtube, and others. These are legal and they are safe without huge malware issues.
If you hear about a site that offers movies on it, search the internet for real reviews about the site. Find out if it's a legitimate service and if people have any comments about virus problems.
If it's a movie that you know is still in the theater, don't watch it. You know it's not legal and you don't know what the site is doing to your computer.
You can also watch movies online by renting them. There are services like Amazon and iTunes that offer rentals that you can stream to your computer. These won't have legality or malware issues with them as they are real services.
