One more person who is a security researcher has discovered how to hack Windows Vista’s User Account Control (UAC) function which is one of Vista’s security feature. The name of the person is Robert Paveza and he is a web application developer.

Paveza published a paper which demonstrates how to run malicious code which infect computers that run Windows Vista while running on limited priviledges that was setup in the UAC.

“For instance, if users believe they are downloading a ‘Pac-Man’ clone, such a game could be run while the malicious software did its work in the background. It is important to note that, realistically, once the proxy infection tool has been run on the target machine, the target is effectively infected,” Paveza said.
