Bill, 1/ Norton and UAC are handling two different classes of threats.
2/ Personally, I found that Norton took too much control of my PC; Email especially became a serious problem. IT folks whom I trust recommended Avast several years ago and I have not regretted it. 3/ I do all sorts of stuff on my PC, including some development, and have never felt a need to turn off UAC. If you are using well developed software that follows the rules, it should not be a problem. 4/ Could you please describe what specific operations you do that requires UAC off? I would hate to have someone on this list take that advice when they do not need to do it and then find themselves damaging some crucial data. thanks, john.
