It is still a fallacy to believe you'll be protected . Yes, it will help but it is still not a secure method to totally protect you

What using limited accounts can't do

This precaution won't prevent or mitigate all malware infections. Some malware can "escalate" its system privileges and give itself powers that a limited user doesn't have. But regular, run-of-the-mill malware, which is what most people face most of the time, doesn't do that.

And that does not take into the account of the social engineering aspect of getting your pc compromised

I NEVER said it will protect you, I said its a rule you should follow - google defense in depth to understand the concept.

Nothing is 100% but you need to include different security controls and practices

I am a Senior Information Security Engineer, its my day job and I work with the entire security stack so Id like to think I know what I am talking about
