Do not run as Administrator
If your computer’s operating system is Windows XP, chances are you’re logged in under the Administrator privileges, unless you have created an account that is a “Limited User.” If you use the Limited User account then viruses and malware will not install on your machine as easily.
Occasionally, when you install legitimate software onto your computer you will need to right-click on the file and choose the “run-as” option to log in under the Administrator account. You may find it necessary to restart your machine and log in under the Administrator account to install certain software programs.
This is important when using windows vista as well. Please keep in mind that you do not want to disable to UAC setting (User Account Control) that displays asking for you to confirm when changes are made to the system. The UAC is an integral part of the security of your machine.
If you would prefer to have a technician make this change for you, or have further questions about this process, please contact our Support Department. Online Computer Repair is supplied 24 hours a day 7 days a week at http://secureremotesupport.com
