spy sweeper with admin/client accounts

[Guest]

Hi,
I recently purchased Webroot spy sweeper. I can only run it from an admin
account. I am running win XP Pro and teh manual states not to perform
everyday activities like internet surfing using an admin account. So my
regular account is a client -- but the spysweeper won't run in the background
as a shield in a client account.
Is there anyway to make spysweeper shield a client account?
Is a power user account the right way to go?
Is it dangerous to run an admin account while surfing the internet?

Thanks for any help.
John

Hi John,

You shouldn't run XP under the System Admin account, not "AN" admin account.
Hope this helps.

Yes it is dangerous to run an Admin account on the net but most people do
and thats why we have all this AV and spyware stuff.

Just reinstall your SS and make sure you select the option that it is for
all users.
