Is it SAFE to download fonts?

[MacLover2011]

I might have made a blunder!
I am working on a web project in Photoshop and I needed a few fonts. So, I looked them up and downloaded the fonts against my better judgement. By doing so, might I be downloading trojans or viruses? I installed a few. Now I have a new menu bar on top of my safari browser window. Duh, I got the font from Kickass torrents/ tp://maxdocumentsitefun.info. (bad link removed) HOW STUPID OF ME! Any idea how I can get rid of that? The font I was looking for was Helvetica and League Gothic. Can I still use the fonts?

I guess it would be a good idea to run Clam Xav huh!

Thanks.

Both the Helvetica and Gothic family fonts are copyrighted. In other words, they are not free and downloading them using a torrent is piracy. Our advice to you is get rid of the fonts by deleting them and stay far away from any torrent site like the one you downloaded from.
