I always forget to verify downloads – what am I missing out on?

[[email protected]]

I’m terrible at remembering to verify downloads. I know I should, and I hear all the warnings about malware and corrupted files, but it always slips my mind. I guess I’m just too eager to get the file or app and start using it. So, really, what am I missing out on by skipping this step? Is it just peace of mind, or am I leaving myself seriously vulnerable to something? What are the biggest risks of not verifying downloads?
