[QUOTE="blackice, post: 880592, member: 79035"] I think a better way to put it would be default. Windows should default to having a SUA for daily work and a secondary admin account for admin tasks. I personally don't feel that running an admin account is extremely risky for users who practice safe habits and don't download much or use cracks. However, these same people are less inconvenienced by SUA. If admin accounts were the end of the world we'd see a lot more infections. However, based on research, if SUA was the default and most people used it there would be far fewer infections. So I guess if you know the information and risk you can make that decision. The problem is most people don't understand it's much more secure to run SUA for daily tasks. [/QUOTE]
