Have you Had User Account Control (UAC) Fail You? I Want to Know...

I'm in the process now of researching a story for a future magazine article on the pro's and con's of Vista's and Server 2008's User Account Control. Yes, its annoying, and yes it can protect against some kinds of attacks.

What I'm looking for are specific examples of where UAC hasn't protected a machine from an infection event or other bad situation from occurring.

If you've had such a situation and want to chat about it, either anonymously or not, please drop me a line at gshields@realtimepublishers.com or drop it in a comment to this post.

Thanks!
