Comment (by lunar):

 <sherief> I created a normal user on win7 and I can bypass the unsigned
 software warning without admin privs. it's probably a corporate policy.
 <gamembel> so, i read that if an executable contains "update", "setup" or
 "install" in the name, windows will ask for admin privileges. wtf
 <phobos> interestingly, they can plug in a usb drive, and unzip the tbb
 zip file i made to their downloads folder and then run tbb
