to be fair exe's dont run by themselves, but this is a very bad exploit for reg surfers.

what happens incase anyone hasn't tried it is..

chrome has a special way of handling exe's you download in that after it downloads it , a tab opens at the bottom left of your browser with the icon and name of the exe you downloaded and a large green arrow points to the tab to tell you you have a file. If you click the tab it launches the exe. If you make the filename something catchy like "GOOGLE CHROME SECURITY UPDATE" wham..
