It is my impression that most standard (“locked down”) XP users in an enterprise setting have limited capability to become infected with the most dangerous spyware. Only the Power and Admin users seem to really get themselves into trouble. Have others found this to be the case, or has anyone found serious threats even on restricted users? Of course even restricted users can be loaded with cookies, but in terms of more serious threats like trojans, browser hijacks and key loggers, is my impression correct or have others found serious spyware threats on restricted users? If I’m wrong about this, what are some examples of serious spyware that can infect even restricted users? I would like to test and see for myself.
