They will need to understand the notion of "executable", no? How else would a user be able to start an application from the media without auto-start?

This is how:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] hongli]$ cp /bin/echo trojan
[EMAIL PROTECTED] hongli]$ chmod -x trojan
[EMAIL PROTECTED] hongli]$ ./trojan
bash: ./trojan: Permission denied
[EMAIL PROTECTED] hongli]$ /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ./trojan pwned
pwned

As you can see, the executable bit doesn't prevent trojans from being executed.
