I haven't assumed that you have said that. Do you think an average home user should run AV?

Either there should be no way to exec without going through cmdline chmod type stuff, or exec should always be in full virtualized environment.

Windows (also Linux desktop env crap) is at the absolute opposite end of this spectrum: UI for exec is indistinguishable from document view/open to a non-expert user.
-
Powershell, macros etc. also are exceptions to "untrusted executable" and are a big risk.
-
MS has fetishized blurring of data/code since at least Windows 3.0 days (OLE/DDE/Word macros/etc.) and this is the non-surprising result.
-
It is going to take a lot to shift a business to any other OS or model now though. Suspect virtualization and isolation are only way forward long term.
