[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 713163, member: 32547"] Awesome information thanks [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER]. I was changing some applications so that they could run as administrator on a test PC here and I was thinking of protecting their folders with EFL. That's why I asked what would happen if I allowed EFL to run for all users as admin. Comodo Programs Manager requires UAC elevation, along with some other apps (Revo/Paragon etc.) that can delete or change files. So, no matter whatever in SUA would try to bypass EFL it would first have to pass through a UAC prompt to bypass EFL. I assume this is unless of course (I suppose) some running application with admin rights has been exploited....maybe something Windows? Most of it would bring a UAC prompt I think but I guess there could be a bypass of UAC utilized. Seems like EFL in SUA is pretty decent protection as long as the user is careful and as long as initiated malware cannot bypass UAC...the apparent weak link in Windows 7 at least... [/QUOTE]
