there are no safe bot programs… even here there are cases of infected scripts so best way to avoid them is being carefull
Congrats, there was only 1 script that contained malacious code in the past year or two. There isnt really any cases of scripts with malacious code.
When a new user releases a script to the community, its best to look throught the code to see what each function does.
Anyone hacked from a open-source script was just being lazy.
There is a reason why SRL is open source to prevent things like this from happening.
Or in any case its good practice just to review the script and see how the creator made the script and how he did it. Don't be a leecher and just run it as soon as you download it…
