Norton UAC Tool for Vista

I normally don't do this, and I have *never* recommended "anything" from
Norton/Symantec - but - I have installed this on a test box and it does
exactly as it states. It builds a white list of UAC prompts that you can
"Allow Always".

Hi Richard,

Good news for x86 users. Us poor x64 freaks will have to do without No
x64 support.

This might be useful if an user doesn't have rights to use the printer, but
using this regular is just a threat on the security.

I think that this should be used to fix small issues as stated above, for a
big amount of pop-ups it will just have the same effect as turning them off.

I am not saying where it would be good for. I am just saying it is
available.

There have been thousands grousing about Vista over the past year and one
half because of UAC

Now they have lost their ammunition.

Use this tool, or not. It's is the individuals choice.

If you don't like that little tool, then you'll hate this: I have UAC
completely OFF and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Wow! Living on the edge, aren't we? I'm doing you one better.
On my 64 bit Vista Ultimate I've invoked the hidden, full system
rights, administrator account, and use that exclusively. You
should try it - no UAC prompts, or other annoyances.

One thing that bugs me is that running Vista with UAC is a big,
"No, no," but running XP is fully acceptable, even though
Vista, with UAC off, is probably still more secure than XP.

If it came from the Norton chamber of horrors then it won't get installed on
my PC. I use Vista64 anyway and UAC is not an issue for me because I have
disabled it and set up a limited user account for when I am on the internet.
