| Jan 26, 2014 at 14:37 | comment | added | CodesInChaos | If you run a piece of malware without admin privs it can do anything your user can do. This includes stealing documents, key-logging you and manipulating the browser to steal all website passwords. The main advantage of an unprivileged account is that the damage can't easily spread to other users. This is of limited value in a single user system. (Same issues apply on Linux as well. They're just a bit rarer since most software gets installed from a trusted repository) | |
