No offense taken. A little paranoia is never a bad thing IMO. That being said, your paranoia might be just a bit over the healthy amount ;)
Just out of curiousity: If i were indeed some evil mastermind like you suggested, what would I gain by getting my hands on a bunch of Rigol S/Ns? They are printed on the outside of the packaging, for crying out loud... If I were so interested in them, I could just visit a friendly dealer and write down as many as I like. But what good would it do to me?
It is just like the obsession with faces and licence plates nowadays. Everyone wants to make them disapper from every photo. Why? How could anyone cause me harm by simply knowing my licence plate number or what my face looks like?
Or is it just me who doesn't see the big picture here?

As for the Open source thing:
Believe it or not, I did think about it. But my opinion is that it would only work if there is someone watching over and coordinating the development.
And I sure as hell do not want to be that guy. It would require way too much effort.
KedasProbe:
It doesn't need to be open source (because then other people can make bad versions)
Just find a way to make it not generate 'false positives' !!

Yep, this is exactly what meant when I mentioned the need for central oversight: preventing bad modifications.

Well I could easily make a portable "paranoid edition" :P, without the installer/uninstaller part. Since the problematic files are parts of the installer, doing so should eliminate the false positives entirely.
Needless to say, installing the dependencies is going to be your responsibility in that case.

Then you see a virus report before downloading and the file URL are at the top of the VirusTotal pages. And people can also add comments there discussing if there's any false positives or actual trojans/viruses.
You can add any file links here https://www.virustotal.com/#url and it will create a VirusTotal link instead with direct download links and virus reports.
Btw. if you want you can manually remove 'hu/' from the links before posting them to make them a bit shorter and if you don't want people to see you are from Hungary. So https://www.virustotal.com/hu/url/... becomes https://www.virustotal.com/url/...
When clicking the 'hu/' part will be automatically inserted or changed to another language depending on you location.

OK, I've just updated th OP. Since I could not find any clickable download links on the VirusTotal pages, I left the original DL links in the OP as well.
Thanks a lot for the tip regarding the language settings! I did try replacing "hu" by "en", but it did not work. And it just did not cross my mind to give it a try without a language ID.
neslekkim:
As for the open source thing, store it on GitHub, and people can fork the code, and do their thing, if someone makes some insanely good codecontributions, it can "easily" be merged in..
