If taken at face value, there are no problems with being a system administrator. It allows you to change all aspects of the computer, and gives you an all-access pass to most every file on the computer, including other users'. This can be potentially dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. You start poking around, deleting and moving files, and suddenly your computer displays strange error messages. You've become a virus! Seriously, if you don't trust yourself not to mess with files and folders, create a system administrator account (for installing software and messing with other settings) and then create a limited account. Then, only use the limited account. A simpler rule to follow- never move or delete a file you didn't create yourself unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure you know what you're doing or you are SPECIFICALLY told to mess with something (which won't be often).
