One such feature is the User Account Control. I hope this article would help you protect your system from vulnerabilities. Another security feature called Parental Controls helps you make your system safe for use by children.
Do check out a previous article on Parental Controls. I hope this article was useful and I thank you for viewing it. Was this article worth reading? Share it with fellow developers too.

So I disabled it. The UAC implementation is poorly done. Its like someone heard a vague description of actual computer security, such as in Unix, then made a vague attempt to implement it in Vista. UAC is brokwen as far as I am concerned. Comment posted by shivanan balgobin on Thursday, April 14, AM i like this software.

However, this is not as secure as logging on with a standard user account. When you're logged on as a regular user, the dialog box will require that you type in administrative credentials to continue. It's easy for administrators to get in the habit of just clicking the Continue button without taking the time to consider the implications, negating the usefulness of this feature.
Although UAC will help protect against the exploitation of elevated privileges by malware, you should still be sure to run antivirus and anti-spyware programs and ensure that they're regularly updated. Vista makes it easier to tell what actions require administrative privileges by identifying them with a shield icon on the buttons for backing up files or backing up the computer Figure B. Note that restoration buttons don't require administrative privileges.
Once upon a time, we had the Power Users group to allow more experienced users to do things like install printers and programs.
With UAC, there's no need for the Power User mode, but it's still available for backward compatibility with previous versions of Windows. If you want to use the Power Users group on Vista, you need to apply a security template that changes the default permissions on the registry and system folders so that they'll be the same as with Windows XP.
There's also no need for administrators to switch back and forth between a regular user account and admin account frequently, either by logging off and back on with a different account or by using the Run As command, since Admin Approval Mode de-elevates your admin privileges when you're performing routine tasks. By default, when a UAC dialog box appears prompting you for permission to continue, the rest of the desktop goes dark and won't respond to input. This feature is called Secure Desktop Mode, and it prevents other software such as malware running on the machine without the user's knowledge from interacting with the prompt.
IT administrators can configure how UAC behaves by editing the local security policy or domain-based group policies. For example, if you don't want administrator accounts to run in Admin Approval Mode that is, you don't want to be prompted every time you need elevated privileges , you can turn off that feature.

Thank you for your feedback! Try a System Restore to when things worked. If you are unable to do that, try logging into Safe Mode. The built-in Administrator account is normally disabled in Vista but if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it may become enabled.
If you can get into Administrator that way, create an extra administrative account per the recommendations below. Then do a thorough scan for malware. If you are unable to get into the built-in Administrator or do System Restore, please post back for further steps. User accounts - Recommended Setup Vista and Windows 7 You absolutely do not want to have only one user account. Like XP and all other modern operating systems, Vista and Windows 7 are multi-user operating systems with built-in system accounts such as Administrator, Default, and Guest.
These accounts should be left alone as they are part of the operating system structure. You particularly don't want only one user account with administrative privileges on Vista and Windows 7 because the built-in Administrator account normally only used in emergencies is disabled by default.
If you're running as Administrator for your daily work and that account gets corrupted, things will be Difficult. It isn't impossible to activate the built-in Administrator to rescue things, but it may require more work than you want to do. Best not to get into a bad situation to begin with. The user account that is for your daily work should be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user call it something like "CompAdmin" or "Tech" or the like only there for elevation purposes.
Running as a Standard user is best practice for security purposes and will help protect your computer from infection. After you create "CompAdmin", log into it and change your regular user account to Standard.
