If you can get away with running the users in a 'Standard User' role then definitely do so. It just wouldn't work for me though. Microsoft actually recommends that all users run as admin users...
:agree:
Sad but true for a lot of software. I know someone that worked at a minor competitor to Oracle and they tried to stomp on related bugs for several years before just giving in. It is possible for to run as non-admin for people that use ONLY Microsoft office programs in a business setting, but it can be unpredictable in complicated domain setups. It will be a lot easier to fix infections in the future when everybody is booting off of network .VHD images... restart the machine, infection gone. Patch the master image with updated virus softare, have everybody restart, no more threat (for a few days at least).
