@NetAdmin1178 Since the app is not from the Android market, in order to install it the user has to first go to Menu=>settings=>applications and check the box to accept applications from "Unknown Sources". When he checks the box he is going to get a warning that says:
Attention "Your phone and personal data are more vulnerable to attack by applications from unknown sources. You agree that you are solely responsible for any damage to your phone or los of data that may result from using these applications" (at least that's how it works on my Droid). In this message, the user then has to tap OK before the box is actually checked. Then they would have to go back to the SMS message and also ignore all the warnings you mentioned that they would find there.
No OS can protect a user who is willing to go to those lengths to do something stupid.
