Symantec Releases a UAC BETA!

I was reading my RSS feeds and came across this little gem from Adrian Kingsley-Hughes in the ZDNet Hardware 2.0 blog.

It appears that Symantec (AKA Norton) has come out with a BETA replacement for the Windows VISTA User Account Control (UAC).

It appears to give you the ability to (finally) get the UAC working right so once you tell it to run or not run the program, it will remember your decision. It also gives you more information as to why it activated the UAC.  This is a direct replacement for the UAC built into Vista. It comes in both 32-BIT and 64-BIT versions. Downloading is available through a link I will add to the bottom as well as a link in the article.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE HARDWARE 2.0 ARTICLE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS!

Remember... THIS IS A BETA!

DO NOT install on mission critical computers! (Betas do not always work like they are supposed to.)

Here is the link to the Norton Labs Vista User Account Control BETA.

Till Next Time!

Although I'd never turn it on, great find!

(Work finally [successfully] forced Vista on me)

Sometimes you have to have it turned on so some programs will update. Adobe Reader is one of them that needs it. (I switched to Foxit Reader myself. Smaller memory footprint.)
