Unless you really love Vista blacking out your screen and asking you with annoying popups to give access to a program or not is a strict no no for us. Norton unlike there annoying activation nightmare products, this free application named Norton User Account Control replaces Vista’s default UAC with a more user-friendly and more secure UAC. Most of the people that switched there workspace to Vista quickly got annoyed with the UAC and decided to disable it altogether.
Norton UAC is a much friendly option, as it has a simple Don’t ask me again option and gives you better details about the program that was prompted by UAC, so you have a better understanding what actually is wrong. Norton UAC is a free beta download, requires Windows Vista.
