I agree. I had UAC on and downloaded a trojan to test Vista. Windows Live One Care
didn't detect the Torjan and the only thing that UAC said is "are you sure you want
to open the file?" as it does with any exe. Of course I want to open the file, I
clicked it. It's not like UAC told me "are you sure you want to open this virus?"
None of this helped me with detecting or stopped me from getting infected with the
trojan. I will admit a complete scan with Windows LIVE one care found some of the
trojan and spyware this file installed, but it couldn't clean it. I finally downloaded
Kaspersy and it seemed to do the trick. It's just a shame the Kaspersky seems to
be a resource hog as well if you leave it running as a process.
