Information for users of Windows Vista
In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, many users work with administrator rights. However, this is not desirable from the standpoint of security, because then it is easy for viruses and unwanted programs to infiltrate computers.
For this reason, Microsoft is introducing the "User Account Control" in Windows Vista. This offers greater protection for users who are logged in as administrators: thus in Windows Vista, an administrator has only the privileges of a normal user at first.
Actions that require administrator rights are clearly marked on Windows Vista with an icon of the information. In addition, the user must explicitly confirm the required action.
Privileges and only increase the administrative task carried out by the operating system once it has been obtained. Avira AntiVir Personal requires administrator rights for some actions in Windows Vista.
