Can downloading projects give you viruses?

Hi! I want to download projects, but I'm afraid that I'll get viruses from downloading them. Can downloading them give you viruses? If so, how low or how high are the chances that they will give you viruses?

No, all projects are uploaded from the scratch program which is made by MIT, a high-ranking collage in the US of A

Nope, it's 100% impossible to get a virus from downloading other's projects. After all, only .sb files cab be uploaded, and you can't make a virus using the Scratch software.  smile
