[QUOTE="danb, post: 1079899, member: 62850"] Absolutely… the whole UAC is flawed from top to bottom. Keep in mind, I have worked directly with end-users for 25 years, and I can promise you that a red prompt that does not require an affirmative response, displays UNSAFE, with a graph that displays UNSAFE, with a specific recommended button, with a detailed user recommendation, and a final question (if they click Allow) to ask them if they realized that if they click Yes, their computer might become infected, is extremely effective in ensuring the computer is not infected. In fact, I log in to a computers all the time that I have not touched for 3-5 years, and not only is it not infected, but there are pretty much no extra apps installed on the system… it is clean as a whistle. This happens ALL the time. Average users and complete novices are much more capable than some people imagine. They just have to be provided the right tools. [/QUOTE]
