I think you've got it around the wrong way, Chuck.  Honest vendors who use
executables are not exposing themselves or their clients to risks.  Jerks
who imbed spyware and such in their executables are a problem but that
doesn't make executables as a group less safe.

Anyone who uses due diligence can usually remain virus free.  I update my
anti-virus software regularly and I only DL from vendors I know and trust.
Whenever a hole is discovered in my OS or any of the SW I use I install the
appropriate patch.  While no system is truly perfect, I feel I'm reasonably
safe.

Getting back to the subject, if you don't want to DL an EXE, then don't.
But that doesn't mean that the author has done something wrong.  It just
means that you are nervous about executables.  That's nothing to object to
IMO.

Robert
