I don't trust websites that want access to my drive.

Why should we try ?
If you are afraid to pass on viruses use clamav.
And if you're running a server use rkhunter or chkrootkit
Never trust a website to do anything on you're computer.

Amen to that, and to repo, too. I'd NEVER trust a website that I didn't personally control.
