Oh sure, I'll just start downloading zipped crap from a tinyurl redirect.

I downloaded it - the zip contains an exe (a self running swf). It's not malware in any way (assuming that's what you meant by crap).

What puzzles me is how people are okay with using IE to browse unknown websites but complain about a zip file. It's probably safer to run an exe named "killharddisk.exe" downloaded from a warez site than to use IE to browse unknown websites :-)

Not sure I can agree with that. Running an executable implies some trust on your part. I don't think browsing an unknown website is anyway near the the same level. I guess a good analogy would be a stranger at my door - answering the door doesn't mean I trust him. Letting him in my house probably does.
