[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 678647"] Considering I'm far from an inexperienced user I see no reason to use UAC at MAX and affect my computer performance, and yes UAC affects my computer performance at anything beyond security level 1 (in fact it affected performance at anything beyond level 1 on all the computers I tested, not noticeable on all). People need to be less paranoid and adjust recommendations to each level of knowledge, if I said I had no Anti-Virus program I would probably be crucified but I went for over 10y without any sort of security Software and was never infected once due to my experience and knowledge alone. Although UAC is useful, using it at security level 3 is just bothersome for experienced users. This?
