There hasn't been any update since a very long time. Plus! will therefore not be updated (automatically or not), let alone update to an unoffical malicious program.

There is also no way that anybody can change the official version listed on the official website.

If he/she does change Plus!, it would be a his own locally saved version, not the version you download from the official website (again a reason to ONLY download from official sites!)

There is no reason what-so-ever to uninstall an official version downloaded from the official website.

It can not. Programs don't work like that. eg: I can not write a piece of program on my computer which all of a sudden magically changes some random program's behaviour on my friends computer.

If you always download from official sites and don't install anything else like dodgy stuff from other sites, there is no danger at all. And in doubt, simply redownload and reinstall the program (from the official site) and/or at least check version numbers against what is posted on official sites.

Nobody can sabotage anything unless they break in into Patchou's house and get behind his computer and start messing with the code.

It will come out when it is ready. Releasing something half-finished or even something with no features will actually be worse... see my previous reply...
