    Hi all,

    I've been running an Admin Account in Windows 7-64. Thought I would tryout the Standard Account because of lowered rights. When I started the Standard Account, I wondered if the antivirus on the Admin Account would cover the Standard Account or should I install an antivirus on the Standard Account?

    Yes, the AV will cover the "standard" (non-admin) account. This is the *only* way I run Windows 7 at home, on my and my family members' PCs.
