 ## Using a model with custom code
 
 You can use any configuration, model or tokenizer with custom code files in its repository with the auto-classes and
-the `from_pretrained` method. The only thing is that you have to add an extra argument to make sure you have read the
-online code and trust the author of that model, to avoid executing malicious code on your machine:
+the `from_pretrained` method. All files and code uploaded to the Hub are scanned for malware (refer to the [Hub security](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security#malware-scanning) documentation for more information), but you should still 
+review the model code and author to avoid executing malicious code on your machine. Set `trust_remote_code=True` to use
+a model with custom code:
 
 ```py
 from transformers import AutoModelForImageClassification
