    Can I get a skin without the risk of a virus?

    Yes. To tell if it is a virus or not, check the file's last 4 characters in it's name. If the last 4 characters are .png, then it is fine.

    How do I make a skin on MCPC?
    Community Answer
    Make sure you have Minecraft actually downloaded on your PC first. Then you find a skin editor, such as 'Skincraft'. Search that and click on the link. Choose whatever colors you want and get started. After your skin is done, download it to the computer. Then, go back to Minecraft.net and log into your profile, click on your profile, and you will find a few buttons there. The first two have a selection between an Alex (3 pixel arm) skin, and a Steve, (4 pixel arm) skin. Choose whichever you desire, and move on. Next, there's a button that says, Browse. Click on your skin, and press 'Open'. Click the 'Upload' button to upload your skin. Next time you join a Minecraft server, you'll be flashing in style.

    What is a skin overlay? Is it important?
    Community Answer
    A skin overlay is the second layer of a Minecraft skin, which was introduced in Minecraft 1.8 for the PC. You can go on most skin editing websites and customize the overlay for your skin. In console versions of the game, you can select a skin with an overlay, provided you have bought the skin packs first.
