So you are trying to say that Mark Russinovich is a bad driver?

[blogs.technet.com...]

He got infected ONLY because he was running as Administrator. Vista is better in that regard but it is just teaching people to click yes regardless, then blame them when things go wrong. No normal day to day program should need Administrator rights and a password prompt would have made it clear that this CD is installing something it shouldn't.

Administrator rights make things much easier for hackers to plant malware because they only need 1 exploit instead of 2.
