Only if the user "Clicks Once" to allow the app to install, and then clicks 
some more times to allow the app to gain an increased security level to do 
malware type things (like writing to the registry and to the disc, 
interacting with other apps etc).  Nothing can happen silently, any more so 
than if someone put a normal .exe on a web server.
