Now, I know some of the ways that 'nasties' can get on a computer, but I'm not sure about this particular one; I want to buy a needlework course that involves watching video on their website. I am right in assuming there's no problem with this, it's only actually downloading stuff that can cause a problem? ( They are a reputable service) Many thanks

You can get nasties from many sources, the act of viewing a webpage downloads all sorts of files onto your computer.

If they are a reputable business and you have anti-virus software on a regularly updated computer you will have nothing to worry about.
