Vista - EZ Anti Virus

When I boot my pc I get 2 messages from the user account control regarding
the EZ anti-virus software. I checked the manaul how to allow these programs
to run without confirmation (properties of the .exe, compatiblility, run this
progrmn as administrator checked), but still the messages. What do I need to
do to get rid of these messages ?

1. Are you referring to EZ Trust Anti-Virus (Computer Associates)

2. Are the dialogs asking you to enter the administrator password?

I'm using the same software and I'm being asked for password (twice) every
time I log on.

I'd say it's annoying but that's an understatement.

I'm glad that Microsoft is getting better at security, But they have gone
overboard in a few areas (this one of them) and still have dropped the ball
elsewhere. Making every account an Administrator account by default (this is
a uniquely Windows thing) is insane.

Today I've installed Avast 4.7 and it seems works fine on Vista beta2:
"avast! Antivirus and Windows Vista
Get antivirus protection for your Windows Vista beta 2 now. We're pleased to
announce that avast! antivirus now fully supports Windows Vista."
http://www.avast.com/

Yes I've got the exact same problem

When I upgraded my XP SP2 machine to this latest Vista Build I had a version
7.0.8 (I think) CA EZ-AV installed - it really didnt work but I maaged to
download the latest update to 7.1.something and all was well for about
30secs then I had major problems with crashing and the realtime agent not
working. I DID NOT get these prompts at this time though and admitidly the
crashes were prob to do with other issues but in the end I uninstalled CA
EX-AV and re-installed it. All was fine until 2 reboots when the realtime
agent refused to load again.

AGAIN I uninstalled and re-installed and since then experience the same
problem the UAC prompts twice (once for each of the taskbar icons) at boot
time asking if its ok to run these apps.

Alas the AV is finally working pretty stable for the moment but the prompts
are a little bit of a nuisance. No solution as yet but will be watching
this thread or providing the solution if/when I find it.

I thought you might be able to approve these icons in windows defender or
somewhere but no!!!

Regards

Mike

1) Yes, thats the software
2) No, I do not have to enter a password, just confirm it is ok to run
