Operating Privileges

There are certain operating system privileges that you inherit when you are assigned to a user group. Windows Vista, XP, and Windows 2000 have built-in groups. Membership to a group gives you rights and abilities to perform various tasks.

ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS supports administrator rights and limited user rights with the exception of installing and uninstalling the product. In these situations you will need administrator credentials. For more information on user groups and user group assignment, refer to your operating system help information.

Multiple Administrator Accounts

Some experienced users have their computers set up so that more than one administrator account is created. ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS will work in these situations when one administrator logs off or with Fast User Switching as described below.

Note: the Block List and Allow List can be modified by either of the administrators.

Fast User Switching

Fast User Switching is the process available on some Windows operating systems whereby a user begins the log off process and selects the Switch User option. The next user can then log on quickly to their account and desktop settings. This works well if two users are wanting to switch quickly from one account to another on the same computer. Anti-Virus PLUS supports Fast User Switching.
