One work-around for this that I have long advocated is making the
temporary
internet folders and the temp folders non-executable.

This is really a beautiful solution, however, as far as my testing shows, it
breaks Microsoft Office 2000 Premium Setup (the moment when you are prompted
to enter the serial number, and possibly at other places also), and possibly
other installers depending on Microsoft Installer technology as well. Or, I
may have had made the folder non-executable, but my ACLs were somewhat
wrong.
