The logical, thorough, and proper method would’ve been to fix components of Windows so that they no longer require elevated privileges. As a result, Microsoft wanted to fix this in Windows 7. In a nutshell, since we’ve already discussed this a few times, the flaw works like this: a lot of people got all whiny over the UAC prompts in Windows Vista. Well, the source code to this flaw has been released – since Microsoft has made it clear they have no interest in fixing it anyway – and Long Zheng, fellow advocate of fixing this bug, made a very clear demonstration video. Here at OSNews I have hammered and hammered on a few times already about the major flaw in Windows 7’s default User Account Control, which allows people or software with malicious intent to completely bypass UAC in such an easy manner that you wonder why UAC is there in the first place.
