Ok i'll keep it simple.

1 - I disabled UAC option.

2 - Crap starts happening right after. what crap?
- Some programs such as tuneup utillites,psp video converter cannot work.
- Programs that can speed up the system such as programs (that disable some programs to start during pc startup) CRASH now.

3 - Decides to turn on the UAC on again. THEN??
- when try to turn it on under windows security center,it says " dont have permission to perfrom action,pls contact administrator" (simpified msg)
- tried ticking it under user account option,keeps unticking again2.
- tried do registry method using regedit, cannot also.

SO..... that leads me to create admin account to turn on UAC.
So i follow this command in cmd prompt(RIGHT CLICK AND RUN AS ADMIN YEAH I KNOW)

UAC, as you know, improves the security level. Disabling UAC may have allowed some nasty things to happen. Your homework is as follows:

Ouch on deleting restore points!
If you can boot into safe mode...
1. download and run malwarebyes
2. run full virus scan
3. run sfc /scannow
4. look at your windows error logs and post errors here
5. look at device manager and see if there are any errors

Again, I think there was a malicious process that was allowed to run after disabling UAC.
