unlimited access to the contents of your computer.

By implication, this also applies to any other company that has installed
software on your machine, and /in/ /theory/ is a protection for malware
authors - you've "allowed" their "software" on to your computer, so they
have MS EULA rights to the data there (including passwords and bank

software. Just a matter of time, *they* are pressing their luck and
limits with us users.
