[QUOTE="_CyberGhosT_, post: 560281, member: 39208"] Thanks for the feedback Umbra, you know the respect and admiration I have for you and a few other members ;) I just find a better peace of mind letting VS captain this ship. Your right UAC does not care about Malware but VS does, and it protects "all" elevation requests with password protection weather it is a legit process or not. I love the added security that affords me. UAC is slightly over rated, and while a good part of the Windows approach to securing my system it is hardly bullet proof. At times I do set it to minimum, But with VoodooShield present I do at times disable it. I have yet to suffer any exploitation or infection with it disabled and I suspect I won't anytime soon. I set it to minimum at times when I may be venturing into dangerous terratory or untrusted beta software. [/QUOTE]
