Windows Accounts
It is far safer to run as a limited user on your Windows or for that matter your Apple computer not as an Administrator.
This means that when software is installed it will require an administrator password
So how do you do this?
- Log onto User Accounts
- Create an Admin user and password
- Reboot and log onto the new Admin side
- Change the current account to a limited or standard user
- Log out of the Admin account and into the limited or standard user
Now whenever anything asks you to install you will need to enter a password which means that next time malware wants to run you should get a prompt that the program such as ” Backup My PC ” or similar wants a password to install which you would not allow as you have not installed it.
You only enter the password for programs you know to be genuine and that you are installing not ” drive by downloads “.
