"User Account Control" security function in Windows 7

User Account Control (UAC) is a new security feature introduced in Windows Vista. It helps prevent harmful programs from making changes to computers and can be used to prevent hacker or malware attacks. When the program wants to make important changes to the computer, UAC will notify the user and ask whether the change is permitted.

Now, this function has been further improved in Windows 7 to be more flexible. In particular, accounts with administrative permissions can adjust the settings to control the UAC notification frequency, so as to reduce the number of interference and make it more user-friendly.
