- I havent heard that those sysadmins that allowed these trojans to be installed by letting every Cd entered into a secretarys PC or any webpage visited the privileges needed to replace OS components. Security is near zero in Israeli corporate computing environment. Perhaps they pay lots of money to get barndname "solutions" so they can say they use the "best securuty" but then they allow anything to act as sysadmin and replace every component. In colleges I teach in "student" accounts in publicly open computer labs always have sysadmin rights and I never had problem installing anything I tried to install on these PCs.
