Re: Vista kernel is vulnerable of course it requires to be an admin
"Unterleitner said administrator privileges are required to execute a program that calls the function containing the flaw, but that doesn't seem like much of a hurdle, since Vista trains its users to click on "OK" to all sorts of security warnings."
if the person is an admin worse thin gs can be done |

How does Vista train a person to click ok? If an idiot was using another OS and wanted to click on everything and download everything, they'll still destroy their pc. |

I have a password on the admin account, so I'm the only one in the household that can actually install new stuff or update the old stuff. Yes, it's a bit annoying for me, but it prevents less well educated users from installing all kinds of "free" crap they found on the Internet.
