Accessing inernet when you are logged on as administrator is like inviting
AIDS (sorry, this sounds drastic but it is :) ).
That is true, but the point is that you don't have to be logged in as an
admin to be vulnerable. In the scenario where this would be useful, you
are logged in as an unpriviledged user, surf the internet, and then
something exploits an IE hole to gain access to your account, and
subsequently exploits the window messaging thing to escalate to
Administrator.
At home where I dont have too much security, I always log on as a common
low-privilege user. while on internet. Using Mozilla is always wise.
I can not believe that there is still no way to remove IE from Windows!!!!
The worst nightmare is some casino site that attaches to IE like a leech!
I even called those folks one day and they refuse to own up to anything!
If it won't work in a browser that is more secure than IE, I don't want
to visit.
