If you've upgraded to 10.4.5 you don't have to worry about it. OS X 10.4.5 fully updated along with Safari Version 2.0.3 (417.8) are immune to that particular attack.

AFAIK, AS could be used to find and delete the
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist files from each user's home
directory; however, it can't replace them. Only relaunching Safari can do that.
But, this is taking a sledge-hammer approach to the problem, since deleting the
plists reverts all settings back to their defaults. If you're trying to protect
users from the so-called worms floating about, then, IMHO, your solution will
just enrage the users when they find out that they lost their settings. A
better approach would be to change the specific setting in the plist files. Try
something like:
search each user's /Library/Preferences/ folder for the
com.apple.safari.plist
file, collect those paths into a list, iterate on each, and execute this:
do shell script "defaults write <individual path to com.apple.safari plist
file> AutoOpenSafeDownloads 0"
Details are left as an exercise.
