UAC

[phaedruspress]

Win7 HP 64. When I right click a file to have Mal scan I get the message "Do you want the following program to allow changes to this computer?" before it will run. Is there any way to change this. I do not want to make universal changes to other applications just Mal. I would like Malwarebytes to always run when I right click something to scan and not ask me if it is OK. Nothing in the Settings. Malwarebytes Free.TIA.

Greetings and welcome

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware requires administrative privileges to run, that's why you're getting the prompts from User Account Control. There is no way to avoid the prompts short of disabling UAC, which I do not recommend as it is a very powerful security feature.

Hi -

Several of the programs (mainly security based) that I run will ask for permission (still getting around my Win7 unit) -

When you upgrade from XP to Win7 these things take a bit of getting used to - Especially when you run 2 individual units -

"Do you want the following program to allow changes to this computer?"- This is just backup for security reasons , as I see it -

Thank You -
