[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 839889, member: 32260"] Worrying about turning off the AV after accessing by the malware the admin rights is like worrying about the size of the casket after your death.:alien: It is normal to think about strong AV self-protection, but far more important is preventing the malware from accessing admin rights. If the malware can run as admin, then it can be prepared to dismantle any protection on Windows. I suspect that most people do not worry as much about UAC bypassing, as about turning off the AV.:emoji_thinking: [/QUOTE]
