Quote - Oh well, there is no saving some people from themselves. Porn and warez site are no way the only way nefarious stuff gets on to your PC, I promise you!! The most innocent sites and pieces of software get infected themselves. Still. its your PC. :) (Oh, and in case you are wondering, I am not parenoid about security... juyst if someone gives me a very clever tool to help me, I go with it. Try reading up about the inner workings of UAC...very clever.
Well, you are right. But there are other ways to secure your computer. I had one infestation on my computer 3 years ago, and that was last time I used Internet Explorer. After that fun I switched to Firefox instead IE, Thunderbird insted Outlook Express, Avast instead of AVG antivirus and router with hardware firewall instead of direct connection (talk about paranoid :)).
The thing hate the most about UAC is that it changes location where some files are stored. I like my aplications to save critical files (like those poser files) in their directory or where I tell them to. And then there's that constant nagging each time I (try to) start something. So I decided it's less annoying if I turn it off...
But back on topic, as it's been already said, poser works fine under vista. I've noticed one more thing, it seems it renders faster under vista then under XP. I was rendering an animation at the time I installed vista so half the files were rendered under XP, and half under vista. Under XP each frame took about 3-4 minutes, under vista 1-2 minutes, according to creation times of those files.
