How safe is the kind of software talked about on this forum?

I have recently started using much more of the kind of software that is talked about on this forum.

Generally speaking, how safe is this kind of software from spyware and viruses and what not?

I had assumed that it was pretty safe, but I am wondering if that is a wise assumption.
