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 Start
>
Control Panel >
User Accounts and Family Safety > User Accounts.
Note: You may turn off the User Account Control Messages (not
recommended) in the User Account Control settings window.
