Nonadmin
run any OS (windows/linux/macos/etc), any apps as non-root, non-administrator user or run-as LUA (Least-Privilege User Account, Limited User Account)
you are better off running as non-admin WITHOUT anti-virus than you are running as admin WITH anti-virus.

even with the UAC on latest windows (vista,7,2008,etc) it's much better run the windows with LUA
