User Account Control
The
User Accounts
control panel can help prevent unauthorized changes
to your computer. User Accounts will ask you for permission or an
administrator password before performing actions that could potentially
affect your computer's operation or that change settings that affect other
users. When you see a User Account message, read it carefully, and then
make sure the name of the action or program that's about to start is one
that you intended to start.
By verifying these actions before they start, User Account settings can
help prevent malicious software (malware) and spyware from installing or
making changes to your computer without permission.
To access
User Account
settings, click on

Note:
You may turn off the User Account Control Messages (not
recommended) in the User Account Control settings window.
