Microsoft has denied reports of a security bug in Windows 7’s User Account Control (UAC).

“Windows 7 now ships with UAC configured to hide prompts when users change Windows settings. While this mode still ensures normal applications can’t overwrite your entire registry, Microsoft made a boo-boo in allowing users to change any Windows setting without any prompts,” notes Rafael Rivera who is a developer for a secure messaging company.

“Yes, you can even change UAC settings, allow[ing] applications free reign in elevated mode, after the required restart,” he added.
