It is a problem. The fact Windows will just execute anything is an issue. That's right. On Linux you need to tell your system to execute a file. That's what chmod is for. (I think you may be able to do this with a right-click. I'm not sure. You just need to tell your system that a file is an executable and it's allowed to do so.)
