[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 883686, member: 37647"] I don't know Minecraft in particular, but there are plenty of programs that work as follows: the main program files are installed in system space, which is shared by all users. Personalizations of the program are stored in user space, and are limited to that user. A standard user account is unable to make changes in system space. This has been tested. However, there are cases where this rule is broken. This is called privelage escalation. Such security lapses are usually patched quickly after they are discovered. If you want stronger security, by all means you should opt for advanced security solutions such as Hard_Configurator, VoodooShield, Comodo Firewall, Kaspersky Internet Security with proper tweaking, or any of the other advanced security solutions.
