I always turn off my computer before a rootkit wants to install itself.

That was meant to be funny.
There are threats galore around. You have to choose your fights.
Practice safe hex, and keep your AV and antimalware up-to-date. UAC was
too much of a bother to deal with, and made clicking yes automatic. In
such cases, even UAC does nothing to protect you.

Just my opinion.
I wuld revise if UAC was more intelligent. There was a way to make it
(supposedly) more intelligent, published in the latest PCWorld (page 122,
June 2008 issue), but my Vista Home Basic does not have a gpedit.msc, so
I can't do what it says in PCWorld.
