    It may be if you are watching from some add sites which are not good or some what low quality sites from which virus can corrupt your computer that too if you download and run the software or movies file in your computer

    Downloading is most of the time harmfull for the system.
    But watching movies online is not.

    Watching movies online can do no harm, that's for sure and for downloading again, it depends on a website you are downloading from.
    There's another option use (download) Online TVxand watch not only movies but anything you want online. Just a tip. :)

    there are some tricky webmasters attached files in the rar file or movie file that might be harmful . these files are from the per per install network. this files will automatically install once its extracted. so be careful

    Well whenever i do want to watch movies online. i do it streaming, never download. cause some smart person might install adware in your computer without your system detecting anything. So try not to download.

    Watching movies online is safe just clear all cookies and cache after watching movie to clean up your system as movies store a lot cache on your system.
    however some websites offer softwares to watch movies online and those softwares can be harmful.
