[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 883521, member: 32260"] As you correctly suspect, there is no full separation. From the first fragment, it follows that your children can log on to the Admin account when they are logged on non-admin account. So, they can install the malware on the Admin account too. If you want to have the separation between accounts, then your kids cannot know the Admin password.(y) Anyway, there is a partial separation for malware that does not use Admin rights or tries to bypass UAC.
