People might forget that dragging and dropping to a command prompt actually executes the file.
I have 2 words, Batch files.. I did not get prompted when I double clicked a batch file containing one line "Malicious program.exe"
Sp2 did not also detect that Viri.zip downloaded from the internet and contains an EXE inside it...
I am not trying to create bad press for SP2, I personally think very highly of it...
But I do think people will enter the trap "Wel it's gonna alert me if it's not safe ain't it?" I think that's the biggest issue here
