Microsoft Security: Daily use of administrator accounts is the biggest security risk for personal PCs

Recently, David Weston, vice president of corporate and operating system security at Microsoft, warned that daily use of administrator accounts is the biggest security risk facing individual PCs.

He pointed out that administrator rights provide hackers with an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Once hackers break into the system, they can enter any corner and destroy it at will.

He said that if the user uses the administrator account on a daily basis, the hacker will not only be able to remotely access the user's PC after a successful intrusion, but also monitor the user's behavior, install malware, run malicious code, and even tamper with system settings.

To solve this problem, Weston recommends that users create a separate local administrator account in the "Account" option in Windows settings and set a powerful and unique password.

When higher permissions are required, the system will prompt the administrator account password, and the user does not need to log out of the current account. The whole process is very convenient.
