[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 107474, post: 1079615"] I remember on Vista McFee or Symantec or some other well known security vendor provided a program which made UAC remember you choices. With UAC there is an option to silently elevate and block unsigned processes. I had hoped Microsoft would have used the SAC as an extra option for UAC to silently elevate only SAC whitelisted programs (because the default setting also uses a whitelist with windows processes). When I studied we used a lot of open source software which dated from XP times (and nearly always required elevation) and I have to agree with [USER=7463]@cruelsister[/USER] in such situations (using software which require admin privilege al the time) UAC can be annoying as hell. Note1: when I disagree with cruelsister and say that it is not a binary YES-NO ([URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/playing-with-uac.129715/page-2#post-1079566']post[/URL]), I thought I should discuss the arguments in which I agee with her also. I am a CS-video fan after all :) Note2: I am very thankfull for [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] his free software ([URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/windows-hardening-tools.129721/#post-1079564']see post[/URL]), so when I see CruelSister and AndyFull disagreeing on topics I feel the strange urge to mediate between two very respected members :) [/QUOTE]
