I hope they keep the UAC. It means you can feel safe on your
computer.




But you're not safe, you are no safer than you were before, there is
nothing new about UAC, it just used to be called common sense.

If you answer yes to everything UAC has done nothing, you are
infected.
Very similar safeguards were possible with XP, almost nobody used
them.

So all it has done is make you "Feel" safe, and if that is what it
takes
you make you feel safe you likely never will be.

I have it prompting for my password, so even if someone killed me
before i locked my computer they still cant do anything without the
password. Full drive encryption (256-AES), 3 firewalls. Only one on but
have 2 backups just in case. Have 2 AV one on realtime other is for
backup. Network Intrusion Detection, fingerprint USB and Local Security
Policy is set to disable any sort of security flaw that i can see. GP
disabling USB drives and CD drives for standard users and to top it all
off if you click one of my Icons that i made it will do an emergency
force shutdown. For eg, Registry or Local Security Policy have been
renamed and if you click on something saying "Regedit" You get a
"shutdown /s /f /t 1" command. Then you need my encryption codes. Oh i
have memory firewalls and Auto backup sync that updates every 5 hours.

Thats why i feel safe :). But the thing is, I dont have any sensitive
data on my computer lol. But, i feel like i could keep CIA secrets for
them :)
