java problem and prevention methods
Authored by: jfaughnan on Apr 20, '05 09:48:32AM

That's what I'd suspected when I heard of it. For what it's worth I routinely run as a non-admin user. For system updates I do the following:

1. log in on my "virgin" admin account (very plain, no odd configuration, no startup items, etc). Run PCC (or similar) to flush caches.
2. shut down, restart and login again to admin
3. run the update
4. shut down and restart

I eventually do repair privileges, though I've never seen it make any difference.
