UAC refuses to be disabled
Hey guys, I'm a new user and first time poster. I registered just to ask this question, of course I'll try to impart some of my limited knowledge upon others while I wait for this question to get answered.
So basically, anytime I try to install a program (i.e.: WinRAR, a game, any antivirus) I get stopped halfway through by this bugger of a window (I've attached a picture) telling me my internet settings are preventing files from being opened. After researching and doing some registry editing and such, a buddy of mine told me the problem could be my UAC. Upon opening the UAC window, I can move the slider around to my heart's content but I simply can't save my changes. Clicking the 'OK' button does nothing. 'Cancel' still works. The way around this was also registry editing, according to a Microsoft help page that couldn't fix it automatically, as it said it could with some program.
So, how can I get UAC off/install a freakin' antivirus?
I'm on W7, 64 bit, no viruses I know of because I haven't been able to run anything I download, although I'm not 100% because I don't have an antivirus.
Thanks in advance for any answers!
