UAC – The Nagging Issue that Keeps Popping Up

Universal Accounts Control is the pop-up or rather the program that monitors if you are about to do something that may influence the system’s overall stability. It is the ever present pop-up that tells or asks you that you should have administrator access or privileges in order to do what you are about to do. One thing that has surfaced during the time Vista has been in the wild is that this very program that has been designed to protect you indeed does, in certain cases. One thing that happens behind the scenes is the fact that any program that has valid security certificates can and does go through without UAC ever noticing. This fast-tracking of hidden applications is what people are fearing the most for it can possibly be hijacked by malware for it to do it’s thing with you left in the dust, not knowing a thing was happening.
From identity theft to other potentially dangerous programs that can run behind the scenes without the user’s knowledge, they do raise alarms all over the industry and the very same system or a version of this UAC is set to be included with the upcoming Windows 7 which is set to go on sale beginning October this year. One who doesn;t have admin access can indeed circumvent the security feature by stating you are the administrator of the said computer, all other tasks that follow are not checked by UAC due to the fact you already have admin access. This is an issue that hasn’t really been addressed well by Microsoft, who has rebuked all who have criticized the said program saying it was put there for a purpose and it seems to be doing fine by their standards.
