replace 'Restricted user' with 'Limited user'
* /runwgacheck - automatically perform a Windows Genuine Advantage check
* /o - don't automatically run the updater and the system scan after installation - when you then login it may then give a red indicator and say that real time protection is off because virus definition files are out of date. I've had a few differing experiences at this point, either it updates them quickly automatically, or if you click on the system tray icon it tells you it's out of date but then updates it quickly, or it displays this then just waits for you to manually press the 'Update' button.. This is as both an Administrator and as a Restricted Limited User.
== Gotchas ==
* Soon after installation it can recognise potentially useful software as a threat. For example if you have UltraVNC installed it will flag up UltraVNC.exe and RealVNC.exe. There's a risk that a user, when prompted, will choose to remove or quarantine such files and remove the administrator's ability to connect. Administrative users can allow, quarantine or remove suspicious files where as Restricted Limited users can only remove or quarantine suspicious files. It would be useful to script the white-listing of specific files that should not be considered a threat, upon installation. White-listing can be performed maually using: Show details → Recommendation → Select an action → Allow → Apply actions (note that Close means 'don't take any action at this point') → Close - this is saved system-wide.

=== Program Updates ===
Does anyone know how it handles program updates? F-Prot, for example, runs as a service so is able to automatically update itself whether or not a user is logged in as an administratorAdministrator, power Power user or restricted Limited user.
