Click OK For Malware

Here's an interesting theory for cyber attackers: When trying to install an evil program, just create a box on the screen with an "OK" button. "The user will click on "OK" because that makes the box go away."

That's the opinion of one security researcher called "Simple Nomad" (aka Mark Loveless). He explains his theory in an interesting article on the "Dark Reading" security web site.

Here's the link: http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=129122&WT.svl=cmpnews1_1

So, the question is: how many users will click OK?
