White hat hacker Joanna Rutkowska claims to have discovered a gaping hole in the User Account Control (UAC) security functionality of Windows Vista.

Have a look at the article! (http://www.itweek.co.uk/vnunet/news/2183507/vista-secirity-hole-discovered)

When you install some applications vista opens up too much user rights.

Read the article and have a laugh about "the most secure" os ever made.

I never understood their attiude, it is one of the things that only gives them more problems. Off course hackers do all they can to break the security when they invite them to do it.

If you have a humble attitude, hackers are more likely to leave you alone. :)

Just sit back and enjoy your :popcorn: and we are likely to have lots of security hole entertainment. :)

Microsoft admitted that many users ran Windows XP constantly using the admin account, which provides unfettered access to all parts of the system.
Well it's MS fault for running the user as Admin by default.:lolflag:

Interesting response by Russinovich. Essentially: 'It's not a bug - it's a feature'
