User injection of malicious code? The better question is what will happen when malware decides that it now has a new vector by which to spread... by injecting itself into the user's cache, say for IE's favorite home page, msn.com? I will guarantee you here and now, that is an exploit just waiting to happen! Plus, how about data exfiltration? Just peruse everyone's cache, purloin all the data, and send it to Timbuktu. Or,... how many other trivial attacks can we think of in under 2 minutes where this lame concept could be exploited? I guess that Windows 7 has now become the newest form of P2P malware!
