[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1079493, member: 99014"] UAC can be sort of useful to parents and system administrators of shared devices as well as business environments. An owner of personal device has no benefit, they will press “yes” and will enter the password. It also makes easier for behavioural blocking to detect privilege escalation attempts, software can check if there was a prompt as they record them (easiest way). Process went from SUA to admin with no prompt => privilege escalation and possibly attack, depending on other factors. [/QUOTE]
