Admin accounts

Hey Logan,

 

What is your oppinion on running an admin account in windows. Do you think its necessary from a security standpoint and what about UAC?

 

Thanks

Andrew

Do you work as Root all the time at linux/mac?

Yes, point taken. I guess it makes sense not to run in an admin account. But so often these days a vast majority of people do in the windows enviroment and rely on UAC.

I use windows and my account is an admin account, there should be no issues if you secure your system accordingly and browse the internet using common sence. For users that I repair their computer, however, I suggest they create two different users with different passwords sinqce your average user will typically screw things up.
