Glad it helped you. Removing the admin rights for an existing user might even kill some malware but it's in no way gone from your system and parts of it might still be deep into the system and keep exploits open.
The malware sticky is a very exclusive address for help imo :>

First, try to login on your admin account and make the installation there. That's what we have admin account for, occasional admin tasks.
The PS update not working is something that can surely be fixed easily imo.
Especially because the PS client/update doesn't need admin rights to work properly.
May it be that you have these issues since PS changed its domain from .com to .eu and the reason is a completely different one?
To revert the changes you just give your standard user admin rights again, via the control panel and then you can delete the new admin account you've created. Very simple.
It doesn't hurt at all to create/edit more users and play with it a little (as long you make sure every user has a password and UAC is on).
