I'm new at Unity, and I'd like to know what program I use to edit Java scripts
I don't want to download monodevelop because it looks as if there is a virus. On the website I have to download extra stuff to get monodevelop. Do you know any other programs I could edit Javascripts with?
It's safe, I use it and have scanned it before, nothing shows up. Also, I doubt Unity would give you a virus...

MonoDevelop. You don't download it; it's included with Unity. It doesn't have any viruses.
You run it like any other app. If the Unity preferences are set to use $$anonymous$$onoDevelop (which they are by default) then double-clicking scripts in Unity launches it.

JavaScript scripts (and csharp scripts, for that matter) are just text files. You can edit them in any text editor - notepad or MS Word, if you really wanted to. However, you'll find it easier in a dedicated code editor to benefit from things like syntax-highlighting and auto-complete.
If you really don't want to use monodevelop that comes with Unity, check out Visual Studio Express or Notepad++
I have figured it out with notepad++ thanks for the help!
