Fear Seerah's big stick!!! She can really hurt you with it!
No seriously, I take a few rules in account, downloaders from sites - I only use WAU, other UI installers for addons, I skip. I am not saying they're not safe, I just prefer to be safe rather than sorry. I never download addons that are NOT zipped up (or rarred, which means .zip or .rar as extension), I would never get an executable (.exe), if an addon contains anything but .lua/.toc/.xml/.tga/.blp I verify it, if it's a batch file I open it and read through it, anything else means it gets deleted.
That's really all you can do aside from scanning all you download.
