I turned off UAC
 

For various reasons I turned off UAC.
Is there a way I can prevent that bubble in the lower right from warning
me constantly?

You can substitute it with the new one now:
"Welcome viruses!
I have opened the door to you all because windows is a crappy insecure
OS, and the only thing that was saving my ass was UAC that was stupid
and annoying. How ELSE could MS blame the users for its own bad design?"

Awhh ok I wont be so bad...

go to control panel (click on clasic view on the left)> security center
> and on the left you will see "change the way security center alerts me"

good luck with viruses

Re: I turned off UAC
 

The UAC, as you realize, is utterly useless.
The concept of a warning is admirable. However the Vista UAC is simply a
blind prompt that gives no information about any potential threat and merely
pops up as result of user actions. Its aim is to make the user feel
responsible if something goes awry rather than blame the lazy ass
programming that goes into Windows.
Win7/Vista SP3 does not have the knee jerk UAC of Vista. Alas Win7/Vista SP3
retains, as far as I can see and have read, all the lazy ass programming
that makes Windows unnecessarily vulnerable to the evil a-holes of the
world.
The OS itself, whether Windows/Apple/Linux is rapidly becoming irrelevant in
a browser based, cloud computing world.
IBM may have the last laugh as it pushes a Linux based cloud computing model
to companies fed up with tithing Microsoft's endless and valueless upgrade
cycles.

Yet I was knowledgeable enough to provide him with the solution even
though i know vista is stinky. Which was:


go to control panel (click on classic view on the left)> security center
> and on the left you will see "change the way security center alerts me"

You a big fat bald and old vista fan, dont care about vista users.
You are here only as a toothless watchdog that runs around barking to
everyone insulting your precious vista.

You are correct about all the points you are making. I have talked about
them again and again in here, but vista fans dont have high IQ's and
dont understand what the heck I am talking about.

This is why linux has an advantage over windows in the new CLOUD era.
all that is needed is a cheap and stable platform to access the cloud.
The cloud is self updating self upgrading...

the only problem with the cloud, is that it will be getting better
without you knowing what changes will be going on! lol

Five Misunderstood Features in Windows Vista
¡E User Account Control
¡E Image management
¡E Display Driver Model
¡E Search
¡E 64 bit architecture
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

The User Access Control (UAC) can detect rootkits before they install.
AV-Test.org carried on a test of common AV applications to find out how
good they detected rootkits. The examiner had to turn off UAC because it
detected every rootkit used in the test.

Avoiding Rootkit Infection.
"The rules to avoid rootkit infection are for the most part the same as
avoiding any malware infection however there are some special
considerations:
Because rootkits meddle with the operating system itself they *require*
full Administrator rights to install. Hence infection can be avoided by
running Windows from an account with *lesser* privileges" (LUA in XP and
UAC in Vista).

You should understand the reason why UAC is there. You should read about
the two access tokens for user/admin on Vista, and yes, if UAC is disabled,
then Run As Administrator is disabled too.

Most users with a brain don't like the constant nagging of UAC.
As good as the idea may be, the implementation is so poor as to render it
useless.

Re: I turned off UAC
 

Disabling UAC is not dangerious at all tbh. It is rather annoying and
unless your a 'newb' i suggest disabling it.

If you know what your doing on your computer the only thing you really
need is a firewall and not an anti-virus.

I understand why UAC is there.
I also understand that it interferes with Firefox/Thunderbird's update
and the Java updater as well.

Interferes as far as what? I have Thunderbird and Java in use, and I
see no interference with UAC enabled, other than you have to approve the
update.

Do you really know what UAC is about? It's about not allowing a
user-admin to run on the Internet or do anything else as a full-rights
admin like on XP.

The admin-user is only a user with Standard user rights, that must be
escalated to admin rights, the escalation to full-admin rights only last
for the moment of escalation to do the task, and then the admin user is
returned to being a Standard user again with Standard user rights only,
not admin rights.

Unlike XP that has no UAC, Vista doesn't allow a virus or malware the
ability to have full rein on the computer once it has compromised the
machine like on XP with a full-rights admin user using the machine.

Malware or a virus can only run under the context of the user account
that is using the computer. If admin user on Vista is only a Standard
user with Standard user rights in reality that must be escalated to full
admin rights, then that mitigates the damage that can occur because the
virus or malware is not running with full admin rights with the user
that's using an admin account on Vista.

Nothing is bulletproof, but one doesn't see a lot of posts by Vista
users about virus or malware issues, not like you see on XP.

As in when it tried to update, the UAC prompt comes up; I allow it and
it still doesn't update.

I see something of a double standard here. Running Vista without
UAC enabled is a big, "no-no," yet running XP, which has no such
"protection" is perfectly acceptable, although Vista without UAC
is probably still more secure than XP.

XP doesn't have UAC. And yes, XP users should run as a User on a daily basis
rather than an Admin but most people have been too lazy or ignorant to do
so.

And some how, you think this is a UAC problem? When on the same token, I

OK, then, I'll mention it :-)

However, in quiet mode, TweakUAC still makes Windows bring up the annoying
shield that the OP wanted to get rid of.

I decided not to follow your advice about turning that off, though, in case
some significant message would eventually be suppressed. Just paranoia, I
guess.

It wasn't even a POV or opinon, but an observation.

What makes you think that your pov is superior, important or the course
of actions you have posted about anything you have done here that you
have to me is significant and I should respect your pov?

What you have doing now and what you have done in the past as I have
encountered you is give me a lot of lip service.

Simply not true. Only ****ing retards (like yourself) lump everyone into
the same category. In reality, you don't understand how Vista works so you
bash it whenever you can. Better get a book, "Vista for Retards" and study
real hard.

Within a year or two, even you can learn how to run a computer.

Try running your computer without an OS. Oops, you use Etch-A-Sketch.
Never mind.

Now reinsert your head into your ass again and have someone tape it shut.
