Comments on: Preventing Malware With UAC http://remove-malware.com/uncategorized/preventing-malware-with-uac/ Antivirus Reviews For 2011 / 2012, Tools and How To's Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:52:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: RejZoRhttp://remove-malware.com/uncategorized/preventing-malware-with-uac/#comment-1072 RejZoR Thu, 06 Nov 2008 10:50:51 +0000 http://remove-malware.com/?p=545#comment-1072 Actually constant notifications are there to prevent hijacking of applications. If one apllication is launched and approved by user, that doesn't mean it will also be next time. Besides, i don't see UAC to be annyoing at all and i'm and expert user when it comes to Windows OS. In fact it saved my sorry ass few times when i was playing around with samples and by mistake pressed Enter+Del instead Shift+Del. On WinXP that would result in me cleaning the OS for next couple of minutes. On Vista i just click Cancel and thats it. Things where i expect UAC to react i automatically click Ok. But when it pops up when i don't expect it, then i check the app details and what launched it. It's not annoying and i just love it. I must be one of the weird bunch of guys who really like Vista and also it's UAC feature. Other 99% of the ppl don't seem to share the same level of enthusiasm...
