Avira and windows 7 permissions

[agapetos]

Hi everyone.

I have used happily avira antivirus for many years.

Now when I install it, and it be on XP or Win7 I get the security warning, do you want to run this file.
This happens on startup and if I click cancel the avira does not run.

I have unchecked the box saying always ask me about this file, but it shows up every boot anyways.

I tried to go into intranet and turn of all the security stuff, but its the same. It want to go online and I am like what has happened to avira antivir?

I did upgrade the computer from vista to win7 and there might be something in that.

I have been so ecstatic with win7 for long time, but as of late I think MS is messing up on their updates. PC runs much much slower and it just doesn't feel like it is the same.

It is my belief that MS panicked after Vista and the bad economy and went out and hired REAL programmers to safe their butts and now they all got fired cuz the MS team think they know what to do now and things are going Vista again hehehe

Have a great day and thanks in advance,
Michael

It sound like the UAC prompt is coming up (correct me if I'm wrong). You can disable UAC:
Start Menu -> Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Account, then click on User Account Control settings, move the slider to Never Notify, press OK and restart.

Here is tutorial that shows you how to run programs without UAC prompt while still having UAC turned on.
