What has curse done to cause this amount of distrust? (I assume you don't do this for every application you install)

- icu 10y agoI only install applications from: a) vendors I trust b) confident in their security, and c) couldn't write the software myself. In the case of the Curse client I just wrote my own batch scripts and used cygwin. I could have just as easily done it in Python or AutoIt. As I wrote the software I know there is virtually no chance for malware. I can't be as certain about the Curse client. As far as I know it isn't open source. Maybe I'm more paranoid than most about security but it could be because I know how easily most systems are compromised.
