‘Unbreakable’ encryption unveiled

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | ‘Unbreakable’ encryption unveiled

Unbreakable?  Meh, where’s DVD Jon these days?

User Account Control in Vista…..turned off by installing an app?

This is strange.

I visit a site called Giveaway of the day.  They let you download, legally, a different software app that has been made free for the day by its publisher.  The thinking being if you like it you will eventually buy a copy.  Now, today I downloaded this here.  Quite a useful little app.  However, when I installed it, it turned OFF UAC!

Now, I only knew this because Security Centre flashed up a bubble warning.  So, tried it on my Laptop and the same thing happened.

I can’t believe that an app can do this, running in non administrator mode and so I’m going to investigate some more.
