I wonder how many Windows users here use admin accounts?

Non-admin accounts mitigate 94% of critical Windows vulnerabilities

The last new computer I bought had Win XP and I remember that by default it set itself up insecurely - i.e. with a single admin account. It was a battle to change it - and I knew what I was trying to achieve. An ordinary person would have had no chance.

I don't know if about Windows 7 and later were the same.
