I'd enable the UAC if I were you. Stops undesirables from gaining elevated privileges - like giving a fat kid the keys to a sweet shop

I've considered it, my wife is pretty dumb when it comes to computers. I usually rely on backups but it's probably not the best idea.

With UAC disabled, there is literally nothing stopping anything on that system from running with full admin rights. I would enable it. Applications such as Shadow Defender would work great for you in this case "protecting your wife" with system wide virtualization, that can be reset by a simple restart of the system.

Or leave it off if you must and add VoodooShield, it acts as a UAC serogate when UAC is disabled.
Its more effective too

Not sure what this "CyberScrub" is though
going to go give it a look.
Thanks for sharing

Hey brother, I get this when trying to access any link to CyberScrub, I utilize Nortons Secure DNS servers

Do you have the installer for this application you can link me to, maybe put it on DropBox, MEGA, or whatever service you use and link me to it, I would like to test it and look at it.
If not thats ok.
