I'm sorry. I personally create the builds that we post on our main site, and you can be sure there is no malware or virus problems with it. That is all I can really say. If you are not convinced, I can understand that you might not install or use Rainmeter. That is entirely up to you of course.
I have to say that I'm using Rainmeter for more years and had no problems at all. I'm upgrading from time to time, to newer versions and all of them was safe 100%. Also, a lot of people are using it, so, I don't think you have to worry about its safety.

Alright, that's good to hear Before I proceed with downloading and running the installer, do you have any answers why hybrid-analysis flagged this behavior: "Contains ability to retrieve keyboard strokes" ?
Does the Rainmeter have possibilities to modify any keyboard based things or what? The flag points directly at a keylogger of some kind and I'm really, really afraid of getting one

I have been thinking about the same thing as there are so many users and I haven't found any "phished, hacked etc" threads about it But safety first as always and I'm pretty curious about the flags anyway.

Rainmeter is very intimate with your hardware, as one of the primary things it does is monitor your hardware. It has lots of capabilities that might be suspicious in the context of another program, like getting keyboard input (InputText plugin) or copying things to the clipboard (!GetClip bang) and who knows what else.
Really, all I can tell you is that it is 100% safe as long as you get it from us, and you will just have to decide what you want to do.
