Disabling UAC
I often hear people suggest disabling UAC as a solution to problems and I cringe. UAC is one of the the most significant security feature that MS has ever introduced. This is the only feature that helps reduce the impact of zero day vulnerabilities in browsers that can cause the machine to become a zombie. I understand that people want there applications to work, but they also need to understand what exactly they are doing when they disable security features to get something to work. In my personal opinion this should be the last step after all other options have been exhausted.
