  I was wondering if any editor/Author of a blog that can put .exe files or other kind of files that can possibility have a virus or spyware?

  Because I’ve seen a lot of people having a virus on their computer from other sites but I dont know if any wordpress blog can have one?

  No, we can’t put those files on our blogs. We also can’t put javascript, iframes, or forms for the same reasons. WP.com is really pretty safe. The only way I’ve ever heard blogs here hacked is that somebody chose a really easy password and it got guessed (it happened to me). Even then, our blogs simply won’t run really nasty code; we are stuck with really basic stuff that can’t do us much harm.
