The marketing department just installed Windows 7. A manager reports that they are suspicious of a security issue when installing a common and pre-authorized Adobe program. The screens dim, and users are asked if they want to proceed with the install. Is this a security issue?
  1. Yes, a virus has been detected.
  2. No, power to the screen is diminished during installation of programs.
  3. No, the User Account Control operates this way.
  4. Yes, the user needs to be logged in as an administrator to install any program.
Explanation
Answer: C - UAC (User Account Control) is a feature that detects changes that typically require administrator permissions. However, the UAC allows users signed in under a general user account the option to install programs using administrator permissions without having to log in as an administrator.

Key Takeaway: UAC was initiated in Windows Vista and carried over to Windows 7. The dimming of the desktop and a security prompt is how the program interacts with users.
