This is a problem which needs to be fixed, as cryptolocker demonstrates.

We really need some hard boundaries set between non-interactive and interactive requests to open files.

Sensible ones too - not "ask about every file", but maybe "grant process access to this folder in my documents folder, without recursive access".

Even better would be "fire this backup utility first, then grant access".

This could be implemented for ~ using a fuse.
