UAC is off and still get security warnings!!

[HTech]

I have done a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. After that I activated the built-in Administrator account. I've logged into it, turned off the UAC and restarted my computer. I get security warnings every time I install new programs. I can not turn off my antivirus software Nod32 in Task Manager. I get only this error message "Operation could not be completed. Access denied".

I have never received safety warnings after I turned off the UAC and could turn off my antivirus program without problems.

What is the problem? How do I get rid of it?

best regards

What do you mean by security warnings?? The message you have got for closing AV is normal. Normally, AV, Firewall's doesnt allow to kill their own processes for security reasons.

I get security warning when i try to install firefox, video lan player and so on. I cant close AV by task manager. I always could close AV before.

That doesn't sound like the UAC system to me. Have you installed some sort of other security protection suite???

NO. I did a clean install and turned off UAC and restarted my computer.

I agree. It also could be caused by malware.

It seems that I do not have administrator rights.

Are logging in as a user account or an administrator account. Keep in mind that the administrator account in Win7 is not wide open like the admin account in XP. Sometimes you have to right click and select "Run as administrator" to load or install programs.

I have enabled the built-in Administrator account.

I have no problem to turn it off or turn it on. The problem is that I get security warnings even though it is off. This never happened when it was turned off before.

Are you logged in as in-built administrator?

I can help you with the Grey box on the left, I get those even with XP.
You just right click on the installer select properties & then choose the option to "Unblock"

Yes. I should then have full rights and have no warnings and be able to just turn of all without being denied.

I did and it worked, but you should not have to do it when you are an administrator. Something is strange. Could it have anything to do with hardware as the motherboard?

Unlikely, but as long as your problem is resolved, thats what counts...
