Vista User Account Control (UAC) Replacement Tool From Norton Labs
Norton Labs has released its own version of User Account Control tool which is currently in Beta. This User Account Control tool has been designed to replace the Vista UAC, to simultaneously make your system more secure while significantly improving user-friendliness.
From the Norton Labs Website:
By default, any application launched by an administrator is running with a filtered, standard user access token. When the administrator attempts to perform a task, the UAC prompts the user to approve the action. This can lead to poor user experiences because the prompts can be slow to display, and appear frequently and without warning. What’s more, because the UAC may give a false sense of security since other processes can still access the desktop, it actually raises security concerns.
I read this news first at AskVG.com, and yet to do a review of the Norton UAC Beta.
