can a key logger program steal admin password when you install program from limited user account
I have admin and limited user account on my PC. I always run in
limited user account, except when installing program and doing other system maintenance work. In limited user account, when I install a program, it will pop up a dialog to ask for admin password. Suppose that under limited user account, I by mistake downloaded virus/trojan, can this virus/trojan/key logger steal the admin password when I try to install a program? I know that I'll be safe if I switch to admin account to do the installation. And yes, there is a possibility that the virus will change the program I want to install. Let's ignore this possibility for now. I am running Win7. Thanks. |
