[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 600758, member: 7463"] Reboot- I just realized I never answered your question about UAC and CF> The best way yo describe my view is with an analogy: Assume that you are renting a car. When you are signing out for it they will offer Insurance; even though you may be the best driver in the world you would be a fool not to sign up for it UNLESS you already have some sort of coverage that will meet and exceed the policy that you would get from the rental car company (I love American Express!). So it is with UAC and CF- even though you might be the safest computer user in the world there are still risks- you can just as easily browse to a normally safe website that now is serving up malware because their FTP credentials were compromised as you could get into a car accident because of a drunk driver- neither could be considered your fault but both must be taken into account. So if a person is just using some freebie AV, using UAC would be mandatory. But if you are using CF you are already getting all the protections afforded by UAC as well as much, much more. In short, at my settings UAC really does not add anything in terms of protection (I hope that I was clear- I'm still a bit woozy). [/QUOTE]
