    I've seen even the most seasoned Windows IT Pros get taken by malware when UAC was off, when other guys in the same office who left UAC on saw it being caught asking for elevation.

    It doesnt matter how good you think you are, there is always a malware author out there that will get you eventually.

    IMHO, I believe if you have goo anti-viruis , spyware detector, and personal firewall, there is no need for UAC

    As I stated ,he sould aleays go back in and change it to the default settings
    I agree with reghkr and I will add "good surfing habits".
