Arduino Library Viruses?

This lesson came from Richard Stockford.  It’s based on this lesson:

• Arduino Course for Absolute Beginners, 2nd Edition
  • Using Arduino Code Libraries
    • Installing Code Libraries

The Question:

I am currently reviewing the libraries section of the course. My question is .. Do the libraries that are added by Arduino checked for viral code? I use a company laptop and need to make sure I am not downloading viral code. Also do Virus checkers cover these library files?

No definitive answers….

Your Thoughts:

What about you? You you ever heard of a virus being introduced by downloading an Arduino library?
