Good Point Fmjc001
That is a very good idea. I do keep my computer locked all the time when i am not on it. But if you are a very forgetful person of just very protective that would work very well.
But i do think that if anyone is smart enough to physically put something harmful onto your computer that they would also realize that they should just go into the task manager and disable all virus protection software. Even though if runs as SYSTEM, they can still see what it is by the description.
That is a very good idea though.

Good for users who try to install spyware on your computer with physical access. Even another admin would not realise what was wrong
