    Yeah! So what if 7 malware can disable UAC?
    a) In XP, you were secure without UAC
    b) It's doing you a favour :)
    You were what in XP??? ROTFLMFAO....

    I think its a good tool for users who know a little but not a lot. If something really funky comes up asking for permission to install or run, and that user doesn't know it, and clicks it away...Then harm has been prevented.

    Me being a power user, I disable it, because even if I do run a program that ends up being a virus...I know I can clean it out.
    Perhaps you haven't read this then: New BIOS attack renders antivirus useless - Calendar Of Updates. Getting harder and harder to know something is there these days....
