If you are concerned about harmful files from the Internet, consider using Qubes OS.

Qubes is wonderful. I read HN and surf the web/social in a dvm - disposable vm, so if you are exploited, not only is it contained to the vm, it’s contained to the vm until you close it, at which point all changes are discarded.

(Modulo any Xen exploits that make it through and affect Qubes. no security is perfect.)

By the way, thanks to the clever Qubes design, quite few Xen exploits affect Qubes OS [0]. Especially after 4.0 with VT-d hardware virtualization [1].
