Is downloading free widgets from the apple store onto my macbook bad for the computer?

I was just looking at all the things they had and i don't know if i should do it or not. Can anyone who uses a mac and downloaded free widgets let me know how it is? does it make the computer slower? And can you get viruses by doing that?

you won't get viruses from the official Apple website. having too many programs running on your computer at once (widgetes or otherwise) will use your system resources and eventually slow your computer down. widgets are small programs though, and you'd have to have a lot of them running at once to have a noticeable affect on your computer's speed.





go ahead and download the ones that look interesting to you. if you decide you don't like them, you can simply turn them off, or even uninstall them if you know you'll never want to use them.

Reply:As long as they come from official sites like Apple it's all fine. You can always remove them if you don't like them. It doesn't cause any bad effect.
