Chris, a bit of an exaggeration maybe? It’s a great tool and I installed it immediately I found out about it. But a malicious widget will have already likely done its damage long before I delete it.
Well Chris from what I can tell the maliciousness of widgets is limited to not being able to remove them from Dashboard or being able to turn them off. You could, to cite one example, have a widget that displayed a picture of questionable nature everytime you used Dashboard with no easy way to remove the thing. Widget manager gets artound this. So whatever damage is likely to be done is more annoying than anything else. Though I could be wrong, maybe there are truly vile widgets in the wings.
