UAC Questions

Is there some way of telling UAC "this is a good program" - so that it doeds
not ask every time - the HIPS like apps, with which I am familiar, learn on
the job - ie they have a remember this decision and dont ask again check
box (AnVir, Spybot, Comodo, Online Armor to name a few).

Have you tried it? I don't want to be the first one to download it
and have my pristine, stable system blow up on me!

Might be a good chance to test all my backups though <g>

Back it up and give it a shot. I know one person that hangs in an AV NG
that's now in the Vista Security NG under the post subject Smart UAC that
seems to be using it. You can ask the person. I may give a shot a little
later down the line to see what it's about.

It can be no worst than Application Control solutions in personal FW(s) or
even the original UAC. <smile>

Hi Wallaby,



Following installation of an application(program), the application will not
require the user to provide consent or credentials, unless it is an
administrative application. So, simple local applications such as a word
processor or a media player won't usually need administrative permission.
Applications that can affect OS files such as Vista's administrative tools
or 3rd party applications such as Acronis, need administrative permission.





One way of trying to get around this is to turn UAC off. Not recommended.



For more information on UAC go here:

Go here to see a few reasons why it is not recommended to turn off UAC:

I saw a reference to that program in one of these groups earlier
today... might have been that one.

That thing looks too good to be true. Especially for a FREEBIE.

Something ain't right.

I'll give it a go, not much invested in this system yet (apart from $),

I'll put findings here

Have a read of this article regarding UAC, and how to use it.

cannot set UAC to automatically run a program as an administrator without
the user being prompted.

In Windows Vista, some programs only run correctly if you run them as an
administrator. You may be able to run newer versions of the same programs
without having to run them as an administrator.

Note A security risk may result by using administrative credentials to run
an unknown program. Only run programs that you trust as an administrator.

Important These steps may increase your security risk. These steps may also
make the computer or the network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users
or by malicious software such as viruses. We recommend the process that this
article describes to enable programs to operate as they are designed to or to
implement specific program capabilities. Before you make these changes, we
recommend that you evaluate the risks that are associated with implementing
this process in your particular environment. If you decide to implement this
process, take any appropriate additional steps to help protect the system. We
recommend that you use this process only if you really require this process.

To run a program as an administrator, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click Run
as administrator.
2. When you are prompted for an administrator password or for a
confirmation, type the administrator password, or click Continue.

For some program icons, the Run as administrator option is not available on
the shortcut menu. For these program icons, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click
Properties. On the Shortcut tab, the Target box contains the location and the
name of the program file.
2. Open the folder that contains the program file.
3. Right-click the program file, and then click Run as administrator. If
you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type
the password, or click Continue.
If you must run a program as an administrator, you may want to set up the
program so that you automatically run it as an administrator. To do this,
follow these steps:
1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click
Properties.
2. On the Compatibility tab, click to select the Run this program as an
administrator check box, and then click OK.
The Compatibility tab is not available for some program icons. For these
program icons, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the icon that you use to run the program, and then click
Properties. On the Shortcut tab, the Target box contains the location and the
name of the program file.
2. Open the folder that contains the program file.
3. Right-click the program file, and then click Properties.
