What to do?

1. Do not EVER EVER download anything connected to or using
BitTorrent. It's been the bane of Windows users for a long time.

2. Do not EVER download bootleg/pirated copies of anything. It's
illegal and it's a good way to get a virus.

3. Consider buying an anti-virus application like Intego's
VirusBarrier. http://www.intego.com/news/ism0902.asp

4. Do nothing and you're at your own risk.

5. So far, you're probably not doing 1 or 2, so for you it's not much
of a worry.
