    Type secpol.msc into Start-Run to open the Local Security Policy snap-in.
    Expand the Local PolicesSecurity Options folder.
    Scroll down to
    "User Account Control: Behaviour of the elevation prompt for administrator"
    Double click and set to: "Elevate without prompting".
    Then Restart the computer.Alternatively this can be set in the registry (then reboot to apply)

    Regedit script:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000

    This doesn't have anything to do with UAC, keeping track of files downloaded from the Internet is the job of the Firewall service in Windows 7 and Vista.

    There was some advice on the previous pages on not keeping the internet zones information. I might add changing this setting in Internet options>Security tab>Internet zone

    I think the problem is that I do not have administrator privileges. I logged into the built-in administrator account and yet I do not have administrator privileges.

    I dont know if I mentioned this before, but this problem started after I took out all components to clean the chassis. After that I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Since then the computer has acted strange.

    Sweet Jesus, Tech, it's not the bloody UAC. Security warnings you posted are not related to it, I assure you. And although I have Norton Internet Security and I'm not familiar with ESET, I can tell you that administrator privileges are NOT ENOUGH to kill Norton's processes if Tamper Protection is on. I suspect ESET utilizes similar technology.

    Stop repeating yourself and try my suggestion or this one.

    I've always been able to shut down the program I wanted. I never got security warnings when I would install a new program. That is why I created a thread. It is not the first time I run Windows 7.
