Some one pointed this out to me and it doesnt really bother me but it might bother others. have a look at the full article and give your views on this subjectWhile Microsoft officials won’t say it (at least not publicly), one of Windos 7’s main selling points is likely to be that it’s the “anti-Vista.” It will be faster, smaller, more reliable and… less secure?
If Microsoft continues on its current path regarding one of Windows 7’s components — the User Account Control (UAC) feature — the company might find itself in the regrettable place where Windows 7 could be less secure than Vista, according to some testers.
Two Windows enthusiast bloggers, Long Zheng and Rafael Rivera, have now discovered not one, but two, seemingly severe exploit channels in the UAC setting that is currently set as the default for Windows 7. The first exploit they publicized (after talking to Microsoft privately about it) allows malware to turn off UAC; the other allows malware to auto-elevate without notifying the user. To date, Microsoft’s response is that the new UAC default is set the way it is “by design” and isn’t problematic.
windows 7 less secure
