warnings as what you will see in illustration 1.
How does UAC protect us? Since the virus infects your computer
when you use it as a standard user, the virus cannot get access
to the global system resources, and therefore the amount of
damage it can do is severely limited. Although it still can corrupt
your documents and read your email, it cannot infect Windows
system files or install itself to be automatically activated every-
time you login to the computer. If a virus attempts to modify the
system files and settings, UAC will alert you by displaying an
elevation prompt.

I will not recommend this for normal user. If you are a season and
a advance user, here are ways whenyou can disable the UAC
function.
Important:
I will recommend that you to back-up you registry before attempting this.
