Perhaps quarantine?

In addition, I don't think that "Open Safely/Restricted/Quarentine" should
display code by default.  Most people can't read it.

At this point, how vulnerable to malicious attacks/virus/trojan horses are
Unix-like OSes?  In other words, is there a program that when run, can do
substancial damage?
