After Vault 7, is very hard to believe that there is a "bug" that allow someone to pull data out of your CPU without leaving a single trace.

Some time in 2004 i've did some tests to prove that a normal user account it's more secure than the Administrator one. The tests shows that a malware can't infect the system if they do not have the Administrator permission for it.
If the user do not have the Administrator power, a malware will not write to your Windows register, create files in system folders, change IE properties and so on.

I think that Microsoft should give more attention to this details and show the users how bad a Administrator account can be bad for you, intead of waisting millions in new "protection" software.
For thouse that want to watch the videos...
They are all in portuguese (sorry for that), and the SO in the test did not have any updates or any antivirus installed.
