What is all the fuss about? The solution is simple. Script addons are created in files with a unique file extension, and those approved by thos high up in the world of MsgPlus get put on the site. If you choose to install a script by running that file, Plus gives you a message box alerting you that you've chosen to install a script - maybe you could even view the source code.
That way even the stupidest helpless old souls who download something sent by a script kiddie get told what it is first. Anyone who would go beyond that step has probably already broken their computer.
Maybe there could also be some sort of certificate that can be encoded into it like they have on IOD (install on demand) programs on the net, so that you know the file's been checked by Patchou or someone like that.
oh and

visual basic won't be the scripting language. it's vbscript (subtle difference)
