the only reason UAc got disabled is because I thought it was the issue.
the wife (who owns that system) don't like it (neither do I if it comes down to it) but I simply remind her that her that she's the one who got a virus, not me. (my system has win XP and nothing anywhere near as annoying as UAC on it

)
