    That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

    SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

    Windows 10: Do I need a separate Admin account?

    I'm hoping someone can answer this question about whether for security reasons I should set up separate Administrator and Standard User accounts on my Windows 10 PCs. Any suggestions or links would be appreciated.

    I second Auslander's suggestion. We need a separate section. Mod's, please take note. It's time to step up our efforts and commitment. Everyone benefits, including TPU.
