It won't happen unless the user allows it.

Hi Ahmad,

Yes, That could be possible, only the user machine [i.e. Browser] level security allow you to install the file, few of the browser settings will block the [.exe] files.

When the user download both [.exe File + Autorun.inf] files, where the installation initiation will be taken care by autorun.inf file.

Note: Most of the Virus effects are intiated by autorun.inf, most of the antivirus & Firewall protect these files to execute.

When few system has low security then autorun.inf will take care & other machine, it will ask for a option of run or save thef files, so user can decide.

Thanks!
