Default how to check a .exe file for a virus

So I'm trying to find a crack for a game I downloaded and I think I can get it through mirc, but they are exe files. if I right click and say scan with norton, am I safe, or could it still be a virus??

also does anyone know where to get software password crack, key generator things easily??

www.avast.com is a good antivirus and its free. you have to regrister it and you get it for a year then you just regrister it. just need a email so they can send you the regristration key. i just have a yahoo one for that kind of ----. i think its the key gens that give you most viruses though
