UAC Useless

Posted: 12-09-2006, 05:41 PM
UAC in Vista does not allow Nod32 to start up until I click OK by then a
virus could slip in and do its thing. I eveb have it run as administrator
turn off DEP for Nod32 windows still blocks it. Until this is fixed I turned
off the useless UAC

You're right. It must be "UAC is useless", not "maybe I should only run
security programs on Vista that are designed to run on Vista". Also, never
mind that viruses don't "slip by and do their thing", they instead get
executed by a user that doesn't know any better, we won't let reality get in
the way of a good moan.

Well with UAC a virus which targets the system won't be able to execute
without prompting you.

But ultimately use software designed for Windows Vista, if you go into the
Security Center you'll find links to download compatible software.
