@stickman reading the OP's post I didn't interperate it that way. He's saying he actually put in 'run as administrator' for jbridge to make 'errors' go away (whatever they may be?). That's gonna trigger UAC.

@qustabo i Click on the link above I suggest. Lucky you. If I had 50 quid for every time I heard that, and then a month later I get a support phone call ;)

At pwalpwal protecting the administrative account is one of the very basics of security. Linux has the same thing, it's called su or sudo (super user do). You can give as much as security advice as you like, but none of it makes UAC unnecessary, it is much like a firewall for the admin account.. You might as well say 'turn off your firewall as well' (btw don't). Improving your security at one end does not mean you are safe to turn off security at the other. You don't buy a secure new front door and then unlock the back door.

Weird, I have 4 computers in my house all with UAC turned off and never picked up a virus or malware.
(knock on wood)

yeah....I have had it turned off on all of my computers for years. I run Kaspersky Internet Security and have never had problems either.

You can disable UAC
 
As in another thread, a little common sense goes a long way.
First, have an up-to-date backup image file.  That's the ultimate fail-safe.

• If you're not sending/receiving Email (your greatest odds of getting infected)
• If you're not opening unknown attachments
• If you're doing limited surfing of trusted corporate sites (Cakewalk, Steinberg, etc for updates/authorization), your odds of getting infected are extremely low.  

Could you possibly be infected by a trusted site?  Yes, but the odds are minute.
You could also walk out the door tomorrow and a tree fall and land on your head.
If the OP takes proper precautions, he can disable UAC without worry...

Well I've heard it all now! So it's perfectly fine to expose the administrator account . Wow.
 
I still don't know how you can claim that your PC is virus or malware free without installing a virus scanner/malware scanner.

Who claimed that their PC is virus or malware free without installing a virus scanner/malware scanner?

Oh yeah, silly me...
 

Not silly at all. Cheers :)

 I turn it off because it is annoying, even more annoying that removing malware.
If you have Windows 10 and started by getting the Insider Preview I would suggest turning off getting the latest builds.
 I believe the latest Windows 10 updates reset a lot of things without your permission.  Windows 10 is an ongoing OS which means updates are not just security updates but some things to improve the OS.
