#2I remember Microsoft's arguments for adding unfettered VB support from within Word, Excel and even Outlook email, and web pages in IE that could also access anything on your system (including your entire address book): flexibility and freedom for the programmer to do anything.

No, a Trojan is something you are tricked into installing that opens the door of your computer to the attacker, much as the Greeks used the Trojan Horse to trick the Trojans.

Not much of a trick if you had to allow alternative markets and still get presented with its permissions before installing it.

Phishing depends on user gullibility that is why everyone is vulnerable to phishing. Here you can't even reach the gullible user because there is the extra step of enabling side-loading, anyone who is going to victimized by this 'Trojan' has to do so knowingly and voluntarily.
