Not from the torrents itself but from what you download with them.

You can get anything from a torrent; it's your responsibility to know what you're downloading.

Look at the comments below the torrent to see if anyone reports that there is a virus or not.

Just check comments before you download. it doesnt matter how many seeders and leechers there are, JUST READ THE DAMN COMMENTS and you should be set
