⚠ If your computer is not physically secure, someone could install something even if you're not logged in.

⚠ Installing when not signed in
If your computer is not physically secure, it’s not secure. If that’s of concern:
Keep the machine physically locked up when not in use.
Consider adding a BIOS password.
Consider adding a harddisk password or using wholedisk encryption.
Regardless, encrypt your sensitive data.
