I have to tell vista every time not to block the program. It won't let symantec live update run without permission every time either.

It is Vista's UAC (User Account Control) function.
I have not figured out a way around it yet (as a standard account user). I am not sure there is a way around it, other than to log on as Administrator. Vista is advising against logging on and operating as Administrator, I suppose because of the higher risk of accidentally changing something that should not be changed. (but I logon as Admin anyway)
I did some checking and I can get to the panel to change the standard UAC function, but the only choices are to "prompt" or "deny".

Anyone else know any tricks?
