Hmm and microsofts fix is to disable it? like auotrun instead of really fixing it.

Kinda boils down to common sense of where and what you install. Think about Droid phones.....do you install "any old app"?

Or...are you careful and smart and only install apps from trusted sources?

This sidebar/gadget thing is the same logic.

I'm just talking about end user common sense (or lack of).

Similar to screensavers in Windows...how many times have you seen malware get installed on a PC due to the end user finding some "cool desktop theme"...that comes with some malware tucked in it?
