AOL CD Autostarts in OS X?

I just got another AOL trial CD. How many CDs they have wasted I don't know. Anyway, I pop it just to see if it had an OS X version of the software and up pops the installer window!

Maybe I am missing something but I was not aware OS X could do an autorun. I know in OS 9 you could make one, but that required a System Folder and I see nothing like that on this disk.

Did the install app start or did the window containing the installer simply open? If the later, as always if you burn a disc with a directory opened, it will auto open that window on load.

No the VISE installer actually opened without me doing anything but putting the CD in.

I don't like the sound of that at all

If you see one try it out. The box has a green/yellw background and a big red/orange blob on it.
