Remember, a couple of years back their addon manager client itself was the cause of a number of issues. Also their ads were a frequent unwitting distributor of malware. NEVER use a third party addon manager client, always download the addon and scan it yourself, then install it. If you do that, then Curse and Wowinterface are both equally safe.

I use curse with the curse client to update my main addons. I usually compare wowinterface and curse if I get something new, so far so good. I also would recommend an authenticator just incase.

Curse is as safe as your computer is. Don't walk into Mordor with the ring around your neck.
That is so quotable!

I think the site has some risk associated with it. I only do manual installs, and it's very easy. I don't not use the curse client, and only visit the site with Firefox + extras goods to remove scripts and ads.

I've used the client since they first came out with it. Never had any issues.

Authenticator and you're good. Even before that though, I never had a problem. While some addons are not safe and do cause erros (usually right after a major patch), it seems like a popular thing for ppl and the gms to autoblame the addons for hacks and bugs. It would be nice if they would actually investigate some things. I even had 3 different gms try to help me with a problem and keep telling me its the addons even after I uninstalled them the first time and kept them uninstalled until I gave up and just lived with it.

I also use Curse to get my few addons, but am extraordinarily careful about it. Scans before / after, no cookies, manual install of addons, and of course: USE AN AUTHENTICATOR. Slightly off topic, but it really cannot be said enough.

I always run from Curses, damn things suck my capacitor dry and wipe out any active tank or speed boosting I am doing. Unless I was in a passive tanked Ishtar/Tengu/Drake, but even then I probably wouldn't be able to maintain tackle and the Curse would get away.

Personally I'd be worried about that P.O.S. called Macromedia Flash. Every release has 10 gaping exploitable holes in it.
