[QUOTE="_CyberGhosT_, post: 560242, member: 39208"] I do take UAC seirously. I also know that UAC is not as solid as some would have you believe. UAC bypasses are becoming more and more prevalent, but on the same token I too was hammered with the fear of turning it off, the only software I have found that allows for this is VoodooShield. It adds strength to UAC and is a suitable UAC surrogate. Now I do not condone that all users should disable UAC "I am not saying that" I am saying that with VS as my UAC surrogate I feel safer knowing that I will be notified just as UAC does but I will also have to enter a password to approve a UAC triggered request, and I like the added security that affords me. UAC is a must if your not using VS don't get me wrong, I see its value but I also know of its weaknesses and VoodooShield buffers those weaknesses so I can enjoy a more secure PC. EDIT: Also with VS and a set password, any time I try to access an admin level sys tool like, Regedit, CMD, Powershell, ect. I am required to enter a password even for things like entering Services, device manager, and system settings, so see those are also secured from being auto triggered. No password = No Access, so I don't have as much to fear from them being triggered from a malicious process that may have slipped past UAC. Awesome share Wave, thank you. [/QUOTE]
