We tell them this all the time. They panic because they were somewhere they weren't supposed to be. This was a simple pop up ad with an insert your internet provider here form letter. Much easier than writing a virus. She only called me because they wanted $99 to fix it.
At one of our management meetings our HR director told all of us how she uses her work laptop to watch movies that are still in theaters. That was an uncomfortable, for her, conversation.
I have a few people here that I have made local admins on their computers because they have good general knowledge and good security habits. Others I allow on the computers only because they are required to to perform their jobs.
Working in IT would be so much easier if it weren't for end users.
