It’s really important to leave the administrator user account on Windows 7 for using Wireshark (for security reasons)?

0

Well, if it isn't probable that remote the servers detect Wiseshark the last thing I have to do before using WireShark is swithing to non-administrator user account. After account change I should be ready to start WiseShark. Or are there other security concerns which I should consider?

your questions (see the other one) leave me behind with some big questionmarks in front of my face ;-)

You are asking if remote servers can detect if you are using Wireshark, you are talking about windows admin accounts, security concerns.

What exactly are you trying to do? Wireshark is a tool to analyze local network/communication problems. No more, no less.
