Well your "computer guy" is wrong. WindowBlind in itself doesn't have any viruses. I have used it several times with very different virus programs installed (AVG, Norton, McAfee, Panda, F-Secure) and never encountered a virus warning on it.
However there are the custom skins that you download to use with WindowBlinds that can sometimes contain harmful material, and also WindowBlinds tend to use a bit of resources so its not recommended if you are using high end software or games (wow, photoshop etc) as it slows them down a bit.
If you still want to use it, i recommend browsing for sites that seem a bit more decent. These sites usually have a higher safety and check for viruses regularely
