Ok, I can see you are missing the point. Of the malware that installs when
you visit a website, have you ever heard of someone not getting hit because
they weren't running as admin?

Admin is only required by commercial software, I've never seen malware that
only infected administrators. So what is it you are trying to accomplish by
running as a user instead of as admin?
