I have come across a workgroup where all users run their Win 7 computers as Admin users. In XP this would have given Viruses full access to the machines. In Win 7 is this OK from a security point of view or are they better being Standard Users?<br />

Many thanks, EH

How secure is a Windows 7 Administration User?

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
