Hi,

I just set up a Limited user Account and noticed that my Anti-Virus program
fails to update.
Is it possible to transfer files/documents and programs from my
Administrator user account to my Limited user account and if so how do I do
that?

TIA................Kayman.
 
Update your Anti-Virus within from Administrator account and it will apply to
all yours.

What you want to copy from your Administrator account to limited account and
what Anti-Virus software you are currently using? Is it the Virus defination
file or other documents. For virus defination, I already told you that
updating the anti-virus will apply to all users. For other files, open
"Document and Settings Folder" and copy the desire files into Limited Account
folder.

Hope this help, let us know!

I think most AVs have an Option to add users to manager and assign what this
user can do, try to see if you have McAfee go to Privacy Option and click on
Users.

Well, I intent to use Limited User Account exclusively for all my internet
surfing, e-mailing, communicating with n/groups (OE6), on-demand AV/A-S
scanning etc., basically everything what I am doing in the Administrator
User Account right now though I am aware of the limitations as illustrated
in "User Accounts".
Therefore, I wish to transfer programs such as Ad-Aware, SuperAntiSpyware,
Spywareblaster, Spybot S&D and some of my documents/files.

I am using CA Anti-Virus, Product Version: 8.3.0.1. There is no reference
indicating additions to limited accounts accounts. I thought that the usage
of the real-time protection/updating would transfer automatically from
Administrator User Account to Limited User Account. Unfortunately it's so
difficult contacting the CA support team.
