nwarp Posted May 29, 2008 ID:19022 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Has anyone experienced problems with Vista UAC. When I have it enabled Rogue Remover Pro will not update successfully there is no UAC warning window when I have it disabled I have no problems with Rogue remover Pro updates. I am the only one who uses the computer and all permissions are correctly set.Regards from Down Under Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanInMontana Posted May 29, 2008 ID:19062 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi nwarp and welcome to Malwarebytes. From Marcin he says you need to run as an administrator to do the updates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwarp Posted May 30, 2008 Author ID:19091 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hi nwarp and welcome to Malwarebytes. From Marcin he says you need to run as an administrator to do the updates.As far as I can see I have myself set up as administrator. I'm the only person who uses the computer in control panel user accounts I'm shown as administror. There is a guest account which is set to off. Should I have some other setting in place ?Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted May 30, 2008 Root Admin ID:19116 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Even though you are the administrator, UAC is set up to not allow any program to run with administrator privileges unless given permission to. By right clicking and selecting Run as Administrator, you allow the program these permissions which it needs to update.Hope that clears it up .

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 30, 2008 Root Admin ID:19118 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yes your account has Admin rights but not for everything. The Administrator account for Vista is disabled by default in order to help protect your system just as the UAC is there to help protect the system.

I'll see what happens next time there is an update for RR Pro.Regards from Downunder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted May 31, 2008 ID:19214 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Easiest way to solve this is to set RR to always run requesting administrative privileges - Right click shortcut (or, optionally, the actual program itself in C:\Program Files\ and select Properties. Now, go to the compatibility tab and check "Always run as administrator."Now, RR will run with admin privileges, and even if you turn UAC off it will still have the necessary privileges to update.However, I also must say this:***Do not turn off UAC*** - it is there for a reason and if you find it annoying, then you're either doing something incorrectly, or else you have entirely too many applications that require administrative privileges on a daily basis....
