Windows Firewall in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 produces incorrect application block alerts when the application filename is .exe (with no characters before the .), which might allow local user-assisted users to trick a user into unblocking a Trojan horse program, as demonstrated by a malicious .exe program in a folder named Internet Explorer, which triggers a question about whether to unblock the Internet Explorer program.
