User or Admin account for internet?

[quantico]

In terms of security in windows vista it is better to use an "user" instead of an "admin" account to surfing in internet?
Thanks

does the UAC ever pop up when signed into the admin account like it does normal user accounts? if not then it might be better to use the user account as the UAC will pop up should you inadvertently click something that could download and install a virus/spyware on your pc

Yau are right thanks for the explanation.
The UAC works well when I signed as "admin" and ask me confirmation about execution of software, the only difference compared when I signed as "user" is that in the latter case the system ask me the admnin password. So I can use the admin accont for internet, the important point is to leave the UAC active.

You will also notice at the bottom of the screen in Internet Explorer than Internet | Protected Mode On is only on with a user and not the admin account (on the admin account it will say Internet | Protected Mode Off).
