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 Ac
count settings, click on Start > Control Panel >
User Accounts and Family Safety > User Acc
ounts.
Note: You may turn off the
User Account Control Messages (not
recommended) in the User Account Control settings window.
