Where I don't have to throw my PC out afterwards due to virus and malware.

When looking for media online, you pretty much just need a good adblocker and the sense not to run any random executables.

The media files themselves are very unlikely to have malware attached. They would need to exploit a bug in the specific video player you are using and then exploit another bug in your OS to get admin privileges before doing any real damage. It's pretty much just theoretical. Keep your stuff up to date and don't worry about it.

It’s worth mentioning that the biggest concern, depending on your country, is getting in trouble with your ISP. That’s where a VPN comes to play.

Only if you torrent. Newsgroups still work wonders!
