[QUOTE="bayasdev, post: 918887, member: 41799"] Indeed, most UAC bypasses only work when the user is logged in as admin so running a standard account will protect against those kind of attacks. When using a standard account you must enter your administrator user password each time you run something as admin. I prefer to use a standard account on my personal device for extra security.
