(dutch), at around 5 minutes.
Since rosetta is not supported any longer, lots of scanners will not be working..
Might it be because the zip file is extracted automatically? (open safe files in safari)
Or is an installer not considered an application is apple's eyes?
Edit: well, i just checked without open safe files (I just found it today on a google image search, google plays a big part in the distribution of this). And there still is no warning when opening the zip. I assume once extracted it doesn't know it was downloaded from the web. Is it that easy to circumvent?

Deny all the rest.
If people are willing to click through several steps of an installer app, they'll also type in the admin password if requested.
This is only useful for other family members that you do not trust for safety reasons.
The only "problem" here is that safari automatically opens safe files. They should also get a smartscreen filter like IE9 has. Safari has something like this already (google safefilter) but it doesn't seem to be as effective.
Mac OS X as a whole has xprotect, but that is a very simplistic defense to look for some known malware signatures.
