Priviledge esculation
If I can run abitrary code you PC then I can esculate the privs to admin. It doesn't matter if you are running as admin because chance are the abitrary code execution is running as different user anyways. It all depends on the vulnerability. Microsoft make is so easy escalate you privs. I'd bypass Admin and go for System instead, then I really own and it doesn't if you are running as basic user or as admin. To top this off it all can be done automatically with a certain nifty tool available for down on the net that I will not mention. There are also a couple of nice web sites for this stuff too if you have bit of programming knowledge as the examples are purposefully crippled by missing line here or there.
