hi All,

I just wondering if LIMITED User Account type will save/secure from any virus or spyware ? i knew it, with limited account type, Computer user can't install or execute any application on it. Till today, i never set my computer with 2 type of user. i just thinking about it. I need some comment, suggestion and advice.

Sorry for frustrating but I don't think so

you can set the account policy to allow them install or uninstall any application, even you can allow which type of users to shutdown windows.

control panel --> admin tools --> local security setting --> local policy
check out 1 by 1, then you can do some modification there/

Good read for this topic. I use non-admin account and frequent re-imaging (2-3 times per week using Acronis). Also Knoppix Live CD when I need absolute safety temporarily.

Seldom pay much attention to software firewalls, anti-spyware or anti-virus anymore. I read about ppl getting hacked even with a full suite of anti-this-and-that. Confidence breaking.

i think it still be okk.
becoz u have already install av in administrator accounts,
and it wll enable to all user,including limited user also,
but need update always..

NOPE, not really. D whole idea of d multi-user profile is 'isolate' 1 user's preference/setting/customization of Windows & it's docuements /data files from 1 & another.

As such, using d multi-user profile feature provides onli very, very slight or NO extra protection from viruses/malwares etc. as all users still shares d same installation of Windows. So if dat installation of Windows get infected bcoz of 1 user, d other users would be 'pulled-in' as well. However, data files & specific user installed apps maybe 'temporarily' spare das they r encrypted (provided u r using user password & NTFS) BUT it's a matter of time, sooner / later it may likely 2 get infected by EXE & macro based viruses which infect those types of files.
