I was thinking that too, like downloading random .exes and complaining your Windows got a virus. At least now a days, Windows .exes have a signing process that warn you, but that’s just like using non-AUR sources; they’re verified.
But we like Linux because it doesn’t give you a big scary full screen warning every time you try to open something… so IDK. If that’s what you need to keep you from installing malware, get off Arch.
Just be aware that the AUR is not vetted. Its like downloading random stuff of the internet and then install said stuff. Always check your sources.

That’s not why I like Linux… but on that note anyway: if the source providing said warning is trustworthy, then let’s have it!
