Run a Virus Scan, trojan after trojan... Run a Spyware sweep, find over 3000 cookies and other tracking devices installed, and why?? Cause upper management said the end users needed Admin rights to run a special software from corporate....[/quote] It's not just corporate bufoons, sadly. One day on my home network my brother told me to access some file in the shared folder of thte system he was using. I open that folder and my AVS goes off, which surprised me because at the time I was using McAfee and I had set it up on that system to do scans everyday and auto-update, probably six months before this happened. So I get on that system: Auto-updates, disabled. Auto-scanning, disabled. So I auto-update McAfee. There was upwards of 70, seperate, viruses on the one PC. After that I install and run spybot, not quite 3000, but 1500 different registry entries, cookies, and .exes. There were probably 8 different phoney pop-up blockers and 15 "searchbars" installed, along with a whole myriad of other -blam!- freeware programs. After all that, I was surprised when, the next day various siblings started complaining that they couldn't install files anymore, and that they wanted admin priviliges.
