However, a standard user account is also very effective for security purposes. In the vast majority of the cases, a standard user can only shoot himself in the foot. It is very unlikely that the security of another user, or the system as a whole, will be compromised.This assumes your version of Windows is modern and updated. The less you update, the more security concerns you have.</blockquote>
