[QUOTE="BVLon, post: 867804"] Yeah, but this strategy is not great, because just as [USER=62850]@danb[/USER] I believe if you do something, you should do it properly. Otherwise, better don't do it at all. But Microsoft is not a subject of this discussion. As for the standard user account, it will not help one bit. This is just security on paper. As long as I have admin account, and as device owner I will, whether I will click allow, or I will type a password and then click allow won't make one bit difference. If you want to secure me, you can stop me from running certain file or performing an action. You can do that only by giving me a reason to believe there is something wrong with the executable. If you tell me "Wait! You are the first person to download this file. Would you like to wait until we analyse it?" that's totally different. And that's just a blend of existing technologies, it won't require anything new to be developed. [/QUOTE]
