[QUOTE="chscag, post: 997119, member: 46727"] You [B]don't[/B] want to turn it off, believe me. That's why Windows is so vulnerable to a virus or malware attack - in XP most folks log on as admin which gives malware and virus attacks a free entrance. Vista and Win 7 have UAC, but that winds up being so annoying most folks turn it off anyway. Unix is designed to be secure. Asking for your password each time a program wants to install is actually protection for you. Regards. [/QUOTE]
