> THE PATCH HAS BEEN OUT FOR YEARS... Don’t surf as admin.

Well, that advice is of course excellent and has indeed been published for many years.

Care to venture a guess as to what percentage of Windows users surf using their admin-priv user account?

More interesting...
why doesn’t Windows make it a default to put IE, or any browser, only in a user accounts?

I don’t like Edge because I’m not allowed to modify it like I can IE.
Why won’t they let user at least modify it’s settings to make it more secure?

I assume profit is involved.
