Unix is only normally secure because only admin installs programs. If you do your day to day activities as a Limited User account on Windows, your exposure to threats is incredibly reduced. Now, if programs are updating themselves this means the user has write access to the editor. This is a bad thing. Check if you want to check, but please download to the download folder. I become root for the install process but normally I run my computer as a limited rights user. Viruses can infect good programs and misuse them.
