The GIMP is a safe program.
I'd trust Broni's opinion alone on most things, personally.

What site advisor was this posted at and where is the DLoad location you were going to use ? ?
This all sounds like complete rubbish to me...

The GIMP is a perfectly safe, well-known, and useful software.  Its a little slow-loading though.
