    Default TeaTimer: Run as administrator?

    I don't know much about Vista, I hate it, and if I could find XP drivers for this machine I'd get rid of it.

    Anyway. With User Account Control, even if you're on an admin account, programs don't have true admin rights unless specifically run them as administrator. Should TeaTimer be run as administrator every time? And what about regular user accounts?

    If TeaTimer could be made into a system service, that'd be nice. ^_^ Should also increase its ability to block and remove infections.

    Default

    TeaTimer does not have to be "run" as "administrator" during every reboot. I don't think it runs based on privileges because it is based from Spybot (TeaTimer serves as a Resident Shield). I don't think UAC will prompt you when Teatimer detects and prompts you of a change.

    But wouldn't TeaTimer be running the whole time if it was a service? Would it be different than it was booted during Startup?
