Regarding Fred’s story on licensing, I don’t get anything when I enter the run command, “slui.exe 4” in Windows 10.

ON SECURITY How users are (and are not) blocking malware By Lincoln Spector “Over a two-week period this past December, the organization asked visitors to its site to fill out a security questionnaire. It received 2,022 responses . . .”

You do realize this survey has absolutely no statistical significance or reliability? Surveying a group of people that happen upon a website, and also not completely verifying their authenticity, is in no way an accurate reflection of how computer users in the rest of the population encounter malware and use anti-virus software.

Probably a good idea when creating a new Admin account as suggested in this column, to set it as type “Administrator” before logging out of existing account and then demoting its rights to “standard user”. Otherwise, you won’t have an “administrator” account. Altho i’m sure Win 8 would not let this happen, or would it?
