For this reason, Microsoft introduced the "user account control" (UAC). The user account
control is part of the following operating systems:
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
The user account control offers more protection for users who are logged in as
administrators. Thus an administrator only has the privileges of a normal user at first.
Actions for which administrator rights are required are clearly marked in by the operating
system with an information icon. In addition, the user must explicitly confirm the required
action. Privileges will only then be increased and the administrative task will be performed
by the operating system after this permission has been obtained.
The Avira product requires administrator rights for some actions. These actions are
marked with the following symbol: . If this symbol also appears on a button,
administrator rights are required to carry out this action. If your current user account does
not have administrator rights, the Windows dialog of the user account control asks you to
enter the administrator password. If you do not have an administrator password, you
cannot carry out this action.
