Hello there. I hope you are not logged in an adminstrator all the time, as that leaves you extra vulnerable to trojan horses and other security problems. When logged in as an administrator, a trojan can reformat your hard drive and delete files-it can even create a new user account with administrative access. I would recommend that you AND your sister use a guest account when connected to the web, and that you alone log in as administrator to defragment your hard drive. You really do not need to grant such permission to your sister as long as you yourself defragment it once a week or so while logging in as administrator. Never connect to the internet while logged in as administrator as a general rule of thumb, though. I hope this helps some.

I've been logged in as an administrator on two computers since 2003 and have caught no viruses or trojans or any other malware. Methinks you are being a bit paranoid.
