[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 600491"] if you assume that UAC is a protection feature which it is not. for the people, (i assume CS know that) : UAC was originally created to: 1- Prevent standard users to get admin rights and modyfing critical areas of the system or having access to other accounts. 2- Make easier the installation of software by admins from a SUA , without the need to Logout and login in admin account. 3- Alert about elevation request of any process legit or not. People assume UAC is an anti-malware features because many malwares ask for elevation, but if a malware doesn't require elevation, UAC will never show up. [/QUOTE]
