I would say bewilderment that a music/video/data CD wants to execute an auto start exe on it. Other than that you may want to check if the CD actually contains the program you expect before running it.

Then you have Sony which abused auto run to install a rootkit on PCs as part of its copy protection.

These users don't know the difference between an exe and a mp3, come on. They'd figure it was auto starting iTunes.

How do you expect a normal user to verify the contents of a CD?

Not if they are never given the choice.
