Or use a temporary VM for media downloading and consumption and nothing else so anything you download is sandboxed.
That is the best/safest way, albeit a pain in the ass to do everytime you download something lol. Especially if you need to move large files between the host system and VM. I use Sandboxie cause I'm lazy. I'm sure it's not really foolproof anymore, as viruses are getting smart enough to stop themselves from loading their payloads if they detect they're running inside a VM. At least it's something tho!
