I have not analysed malware and can't comment on your suggestion that all
malware has equally malicious effects on admins and users. This suggestion
sounds unlikely, but I don't know.

In the story you quoted that started this thread, eEye are saying that: 1. 
They could make a website.
2.  If a user visited the website, eEye could run a program as that user.
3.  If an admin visited the website, eEye could own the computer.

Note that (2) does NOT mean owning the computer because there are no known
privilege escalation techniques on a patched and recent Windows system.
