Hi Eleanor,
Chris has his set to the maximum which while secure it may prove a touch
annoying. I'm happy to leave my own at 2 out of 3.
I've got a Firewall in my Router, WIFI Security set, Anti Virus, Anti
Mallware, Windows Advanced Firewall, an additional software firewall so IMHO
it may prove a bit of an overkill.
Just saying in case you set it to 100% or 3 out of 3 (as Window Eyes will
report the slider bar to be), UAC is getting on your nerves.
Regards,
Barry
