[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 880990, member: 69368"] email - phishing attacks etc etc I use both Admin and SUA, for similar reasons to many here. Installation of new software and other tasks are not always possible while using a SUA, even when I can use the Admin password to elevate privileges I still find it easier to do these tasks using an Admin account. I try to keep good practice and revert back to SUA when I no longer require higher privileges, but so often find I'm still signed into an Admin account ages afterwards, a bad practice, but I don't lurk in the less salubrious parts of the internet.
