Huh? The report you quoted said that just opening a web page could run
malicious code. So if I'm casually clicking here and there on the web, and
if I ran across the malware reported, it would run as a user if I'm logged
on as a user.

In your example above, I (should) know that if I open an attachment that
stuff could happen. The report was talking about just browsing a web page.
