Agreed, it should be possible to turn the notifications on and off individually, just like in XP.

Its worth keeping, as it stops anything dodgy running without you knowing.. (Smilie)
It's a matter of opinion, actually...
>99% of all UAC nags are useless IMO, they only bother the user in an extremely obtrusive way, while vista is supposed to be "more productive". How can anyone be more productive if you have to confirm a random harmless action every other click?
Apart from that, most of the time it's a user action which allows malware to be installed. Just be careful with what you do on your pc and everything will be fine.
Edit: Dazmo, do you actually read every single UAC nag you get? Most people will in the beginning, but after a while they have seen enough of it and just want to continue what they were doing ASAP, thus clicking "ok (go ahead I don't care)", just like with many other dialogs. What's the use of the nags after people stop reading them?
