Admin User
I have to agree with this sentiment, as far as OS X is concerned. And, to a lesser extent, even with Windows in the Vista/UAC era. You are going to be prompted to death for anything that could be potentially harmful ("yes, OS X, I really want to open up that HTML file I downloaded!").
Admin User
As I pointed out to frgough above, administrative user accounts are not necessarily prompted for a password when performing potentially harmful actions.
I'm not advocating that everyone run as a non-admin user -- just setting you straight on a misconception.
Admin User
You are mixing two things up here. Just to administrate your computer you don't have to use an admin account all the time. It is a general and wise security rule that you take privileges only when you need them and drop them as soon as possible. |
