Hi guys I have sabnzbd set to auto check file, auto repair, auto unrar and auto delete and then transfer the completed file to a different drive from the downloaded drive. Many times I just leave it running overnight and I am wondering about the virus/malware, since I have everything set to auto. As long as I don't click on anything that's finished download I am ok, is that right? or do you guys turn the off the auto thing?

SABnzbd never executes anything, not do the used par2 and unrar tools.
All downloaded content is passive, downloaded exe files are not executed.
The only "attack vector" would be a vulnerability in the unrar tool.
As far as I know such a vulnerability has never been reported.
