I know I am running as administrator. I am functionally illiterate as a computer user. What do I do to not run as admin. and what effect does this have on my use? I am running XP svc. pack three. Would I still be able to download stuff? I have Ad-Aware, Zone Alarm,Spybot, Avira, and this seems to have protected me so far. I also connect via a wired router. Any advice would be appreciated, but would need to be along the lines of "press this key, then that one". any assumption of knowledge of the internal workings of computers would be wrong.
Sorry for the thread hi-jack, but this has worried me for a while.
