User Account Control (or UAC) is a tool to help keep us safe. However many people do not like to be bugged by windows opening asking them if they really want to install a program. Turning off UAC strips away one of Vista's security features. You will not receive warnings of downloads, even secret, malicious ones. If you must shutdown UAC. There is an alternative solution TweakUAC. This is a free program allows you to put UAC into quiet mode.
Quiet mode keeps User Account Control running, but TweakUAC suppresses the alerts. You won't get them when installing or running software. Plus, you can turn quiet mode on or off without rebooting.
If you keep User Account Control running or use TweakUAC you must remember that User Account Control is tool to keep you and your computer safe.
