[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 809669, member: 32260"] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]In the home environment[/B][/COLOR] (almost) all malware are started by user actions so initially can run only with standard privileges. So, it is far better and safer to restrict user actions, because this does not disturb Windows system processes, Windows Updates and administrative scheduled tasks. The malware/exploit cannot run because of those restrictions, so cannot get higher privileges, too. If you want to apply restrictions with high privileges then you cannot restrict user actions as much as with standard privileges, because this could break something in the system. But, such restrictions are necessary for enterprise users, because the computers in the large local network can be attacked with high privileges (remotely). [/QUOTE]
