In Microsoft stuffs Sage with free accounts software
"Accountants: Trusted with the most sensitive financial data, demanding a secure accounting platform on a secure operating system.
So why does Sage require its clients to use "Power User" access?"
Too true, too bloody true...
We have two finance machines that keep getting infected with different malware apps (porn popups etc...), purely because we've got to give these users more access than they _SHOULD_ have on a secured network. The users have been hit by a couple of dodgy advert iframe exploits which led to the initial infection, its taken us months to clean the majority of crap out of the machines. However, it still has some issues because of this.
As far as I'm concerned this is the fault of SAGE and nobody else. Maybe we should forgo paying their extortionate support costs this year until they come here, fix the machine (of which they have very little expertise anyway), and reimburse us for the wasted time of having to clean malware from the machine, over and over again.
Currently standing at about 20 days of my time.
