    This requires more work but don’t make anyone an admin of their computer if they don’t know what they’re doing and you have to clean it up.

      My uncle wasn’t the admin of his (Windows) computer, but he managed to install a web browser that was basically malware. The damn thing didn’t require any admin permissions to install, and it automatically ran a powershell script to reinstall itself if it was removed. I had to edit the registry to remove it. It’s crazy.
