Couldn't you give users the appropriate permissions to the files/reg keys that are modded/added? To find out goto www.sysinternals.com and download filemon.exe and regmon.exe.

As you may already know, when someone logs in with only User rights, they are no longer able to install AV definitions through the LiveUpdate feature. This is one of the most crucial things we'd like our clients to beable to access in case they are on travel or working remotely. ATrojan/virus has less of a chance of being initialized under user rights, but it is important that the user be able to maintain the definitions ifneeded. Is there a tweak out there? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Joe George IT Analyst Conservation International
