Alternatively Micro$loth could get their asses in gear and create an OS that is actually safe to use instead of inventing layers of obfuscation that doesn't actually do anything for the user and is really only to protect the OS from itself. Plenty of articles have been written to show that a user exposed to a recurring prompt clicks it without thought after only a few times. So what has UAC actually done at that point? Nothing. We did a blurb on it as part of a presentation for Black Hat last year (08). We showed that a user who is exposed to the recurring pop-up eventually just clicks it mindlessly and when our malicious code is injected into the stream of clicks... gets run just fine.
