@curtlink Yip. Put a password on your admin acount and use it only when you really need to. Running of a non admin acount with less permissions gives malware less freedom to hurt your system. It can't disable your registry tools, it can't disable taskmanager, it can't install itself as a service because it don't have the permissions. if your running of a admin acount it can do all the above very easily. * +

Uac is just a simple registry entry. A right click on the mouse basically. So its easy for malware to elevate themselves with it IF YOUR RUNNING FROM A ADMIN ACOUNT. ON A LIMITED USERS ACOUNT THAT CAN'T BE DONE BECAUSE A LIMITED USER HAVE LIMITED ACCESS. ASWELL DISABLING A AV OR REGEDIT OR TASKMANAGER HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH UAC. BECAUSE IF YOU TYPE REGEDIT IN RUN WHAT HAPPENS. LIMITED USERS DON'T GET ASKED JUST STRAIGHT ACCESS DENIED. * +
