The issue I am having is with virus definition updates. I
do not run my PC as administrator. Each time an update is
downloaded a pop up states there is an update to be loaded
and I must be an adminstrator of the machine to load it.
Naturally, the pop ups keep coming until I finally log off
and log back in as administrator.

Is there any way around this other than running the PC as
adminstrator or a user with adminstrator rights?
