warnings and alerts it would be nice to have it on in case something got pass your firewall and security software and it let you know that something is trying to acces and change system files that shoud not, but the meer fact that it does it for every little thing is what makes it redundent so until thay can improve on it and make it more stream line it will stay off on my network. It's the most stupid thing you can do, talking about security, turning off UAC. Please, remove your antivirus and all other crappy anti-malware apps instead because barrying the system limiting execution privileges (=UAC on) is a much more secure approach. Something *nix systems do since '70... What part of NO ADMINISTRATOR ACCESS do you not understand? I cannot run, install, or access anything in safe mode without administrative access! The administrator account has been disabled by some virus and does not show under safe mode. The virus has been removed and the system runs just fine, but i can't get access to any programs, i need to reset or take ownership of some programs to be able to run even the cmd prompt. Trying to right click and "Run as Administrator" does not work without the administrator permisions! I cannot change or edit,"Advanced Security Settings for services" for any of the accounts as they are greyed out. Ownership is also greyed out, so i cannot take ownership of anything! Any other bright ideas? Maybe
