EXPERT RESPONSE
It depends on your source but I know I'd never install software from an "untrusted" source. But you have to be careful with that blanket labeling. Just what is untrusted? Is it open source? Freeware? Most of the latter can be "trusted", but again, it all depends. As with any decision, you've got to make the decision with the information you have at hand.
