I’m just always spooked by viruses and shit.

Use yts.mx, if you use any other site, try checking comments first if they have them, if not you can use torrent file viewer to check the download is actually a video file before downloading

Lastly you could try anti virus, but don't rely on it to do your job for you, they can catch most but not always all viruses

You can't get a virus from a video or music file. Viruses have to be executable.
