In reality they click whichever button is closest to "yeah, whatever" and get on with infecting their machine. These sort of security measures do far more harm than good in the long run. By making the user click through the dialog for the majority of their downloads, they're training the user to ignore it (how often do you think users confirm the details on the UAC prompts for example?). This then combines a false sense of security with a lack of attention - the recipe for disaster.[/quote]
