Is System Lockdown the Secret Weapon?

Supports what I've been saying for quite some time:

We found a vast degree of difference among the three user memberships.
On our Windows 2000 Professional client with User permissions only,
none of the malware installed completely and two threats actually
warned that the user had insufficient privileges.

A third loaded a malicious process into memory, but the threat did not
reappear after reboot. The Sunbelt scan performed after the reboot
could find only a single threat, which consisted of one file in the
browser cache.
