SuperAntiSpyware? with Vista

[Pete]

Generally, I like the program.
However, when it runs at startup, I have to authorize it TWICE to load it.
Is there a solution? Or is this just a characteristic?
Tks.

I turned off User account control. See the relevant item in PC Magazine's
Vista tips:
<http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2282472,00.asp>

• Turn off annoying prompts
Vista added the A Program Needs Your Permission to Continue prompt to help
prevent you from inadvertently installing malware or making unauthorized
changes to your computer. It's annoying to see that dialog box constantly
pop up. If you're computer savvy, you can turn it off by deactivating User
Account Control in the User Accounts Control Panel.

Sorry, I don't know by heart the exact steps.

I believe that has been fixed in their latest version. Do an update.

Do you know that UAC can stop rootkits from installing?

I always turn off my computer before a rootkit wants to install itself.

That was meant to be funny.
There are threats galore around. You have to choose your fights.
Practice safe hex, and keep your AV and antimalware up-to-date. UAC was
too much of a bother to deal with, and made clicking yes automatic. In
such cases, even UAC does nothing to protect you.

Just my opinion.
I wuld revise if UAC was more intelligent. There was a way to make it
(supposedly) more intelligent, published in the latest PCWorld (page 122,
June 2008 issue), but my Vista Home Basic does not have a gpedit.msc, so
I can't do what it says in PCWorld.

Is that why I can't find gpedit.msc, Nick?

gpedit.msc is a group policy editor for windows, it wasnt present in windows
xp home but was in pro, and i assume it is also missing from vista home
versions also.

Wrong.

Looks like Vista’s much-maligned User Access Control or UAC has one benefit
for a savvy user: it can detect rootkits before they install. AV-Test.org
conducted a test of popular antivirus programs to see how well they
detected rootkits and the tester had to turn off UAC on the Vista test
systems because it detected every rootkit used in the test.
