Solve : Smart UAC Replacement? |
|
Answer» http://www.replaceuac.com/ UAC is more COMMONLY known as User Account Control which is a security feature that was first introduced in Windows Vista. It aims to improve the security of Windows by limiting applications to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes the increase in privilege level. What end users see is the constant security alerts when they try to run some program or change a system setting. In theory this a GOOD idea, but in reality UAC can popup every time the user wants to run their favorite program that they know is safe. Two things happen when users have to keep clicking this. They EITHER get used to clicking CONTINUE without reading what the action is making them “dumb” to real threats or they simply turn off UAC. To solve this problem, a free tool called Smart UAC Replacement has been created to upgrade UAC so that it remembers the users choices and no longer bothers them about legitimate programs. It also has a built in malware scanner to help those users who would click “Continue” to something malicious anyway. One of the best parts about Smart UAC Replacement that it works on Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista (UNFORTUNATELY, only the 32bit version of Vista).Nice find. |
