[QUOTE="empleat, post: 918883, member: 86558"] Hello, i wonder if using Windows on administrator account long-term is security risk. You can add local account to administrator group and then launch programs as admin. However password is saved on a disk! Otherwise you have to enter password each time you want to launch a program, or at startup, which is annoying as hell! Bitdefender says this is only small security risk. I wanted to ask, is it big deal to use use administrator account long-term, or using local account with program, which adds it to an administrator group and allows you launch specified programs, without entering password each time?! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
