Wouldn't you expect to require admin rights when using a utility like
this?

Not for Windows Defender. I just want to scan my user's account and data
for stuff, nothing more. Spybot and AdAware can do it as well!

So you wouldn't want to scan the rest of the system for, oh, I don't know, a
keylogger?

Only known and/or dumb nasty stuff.

And that is the majority of the nasty stuff out there.

And this is the nasty stuff you don't need to fear.

ROTFLMAO! That's a good one. Let's just put blindfolds on, earplugs in and
pretend
they don't exist too!

Granted - If you were looking to do this. However, please take a look at
the original question Nicols posted. Your suggestion does not answer it.

It does. Modifiy the conditions reasonably and you can make sure that
there's no software-based keylogger. Which is probably his goal.
