I had to recently wipe out my Windows Vista and re-install it with XP because it became too virus infested and completely failed. Now I am looking into how I can prevent these issues. I love to download fonts, but I don’t exactly want to pay $20 for them. I used to use DaFont.com and I loved it, but now I’ve been looking at reviews and such to make sure. There’s only good reviews, but I can’t be sure those are legit. I know Yahoo! Answers isn’t exactly the Library of Congress when it comes to this stuff but I would really appreciate a second opinion. **So what I’m asking is whether or not DaFont.com is virus free? Also, is 1001FreeFonts.com virus safe as well? Thank you.**

DaFont is an archive of freely downloadable fonts. Fonts are categorized by theme, and can also be sorted by name, date, and popularity. The site also allows users to enter custom text when previewing fonts. According to Alexa, the site has a global ranking of roughly 1,000 on the web. The fonts are usable for graphic design and MSN Messenger.
From the point of view of virus etc. as these files are not application type files you should be safe from viruses. But I also suggest you do not run any autoloading zip files and always run a virus scanner over all your files before usage (AVG Anti-Virus is FREE).
Hope this help, Philip.
Followed your excellent tutorial on installing multiple copies of wordpress into WAMP. But I cant find anything on moving the local wamp database and wordpress files to a new host online. Plenty of MAMP stuff but nothing on WAMP
Hi Mark
Do you really want to move the WAMP database or do you want to move the WordPress installation and its MySQL database?
