I have and use a laptop, as well as Desktop and I use administrator 
username and password. AS I said you trust no one. I I allow someone to 
use Mu computer I boot up put in password and  if anyone wants to use 
SM, FF, or TB I have them password protected too.

That includes my broth, sister-in law, and nieces. If it some one else I 
have them sit in a chair and watch when I go to a site they want to see.

Trust no one when it comes to computers. Anyone can screw one up in a 
heart beat without intentions of doings  so. Even if Mac are much safer 
than a PC. If I had a PC I wouldn't even left my relatives operate the 
computer. Just breathing on them wrong can cause all types of Virus and 
malware.
