Given what happened to a lot of people recently with the MAC Defender malware (yes they did use MAC, not Mac), is it about time to advise all normal Mac users to run with Standard accounts, rather than Administrator accounts? This is the advice given by Apple (pdf) after all, but I get the impression that most users just go with the account they're given when they first run setup (which is an admin account).
Of course those of us who know what we're doing could continue with admin accounts, but the average user perhaps doesn't know enough to be entrusted with admin rights?
