[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 1079940, member: 91306"] The Windows OS code is far too complex for black hats not to be able to poke holes in it almost at will. Security software is required, especially for those who don't know how to secure it with native built-in OS features. [B]Edit[/B] btw, UAC is only a very small piece of the Windows security puzzle. Mostly it's a convenient way to elevate tasks, OS tools and program functions - [B]especially when expected[/B] - when required. No more, no less. Unfortunately some Microsoft-endorsed articles have screwed up touting it as security when really it isn't providing much of that at all. So now people are up in arms as to why it isn't better than it should be. [/QUOTE]
