I posted this in response to the manifest post, but Vista will determine that any EXE with the words "install" or "setup" in the name are installers, and elevate their security level. Seriously.
How would anyone ever circumvent such an advanced system?
If you name an executable with the words "install" or "setup" Vista will elevate the security level. This is part of the "heuristics" used to determine if an app is an installer.
This is absolutely the most retarded thing I have ever heard.
Bring on the new "MelissaSetup" viruses...
