1. Running WIN Vista Business, with (NIS) Norton Internet Security 2012, Lenovo
ThinkPad T60p.
Usually when I'm on the laptop for long sessions, 2 hours or more, the (UAC) User
Account Control randomly gets reset.
I have NO idea HOW or WHY the UAC gets reset.
Often I run NIS, doing a FULL SCAN with the option to [Shut Down].
And let it run, unattended, for the duration of the FULL SCAN which often takes more
than an hour. I think the UAC gets reset during this time because when I log back in
the next day I often get the notification about the reset.
2. This week (AUG 4th) I have displayed the [Security essentials] screen [Firewall,
Automatic updating, Malware protection, Other security settings], keep it displayed, so
that I notice when the UAC resets. The change is displayed in RED.
And Yes, I have set: [Yes, notify me and display the icon (recommended)].
3. Over the past 4 months or so I've noticed on start-up, always, lots of CPU activity
on Index/Indexing.
I have my file SEARCH setting NOT to use the Index.
Why would there be so much CPU on the Index at startup??
4. Today AUG 09, I checked the [Security essentials] screen, no problem.
A minute later I again checked [Security essentials] screen, and the problem (UAC
reset) appeared.
Half a minute later I get a notification of High CPU Activity.
Clicked DETAILS, and the problem (high CPU) was SearchIndexer.exe .
IF searchIndexer.exe is the problem (UAC reset) then how can I replace it?
SearchIndexer.exe is found 5 times on the laptop.
SearchIndexer.exe.mui is found 5 times on the laptop.
5. I immediately changed the password on my (Administrative) account.
6. Is there any way to TRACK which program may be resetting the UAC?
Is there a Windows log that may be helpful in this case?
7. I assume there is a bug/Virus/Malware IN the laptop because the UAC resets WHILE I'm
logged in. As opposed to coming IN from another IP Address??
8. About 4 or 5 months ago my ATT Email got hacked.
After a close look at ATT Email options I found Otherinbox had full control over my
email account.
This gives permission to third party service OtherInbox to:
• Read, compose, move, and delete messages, folders, and filters
• You will allow read and write access to your Yahoo! Contacts data
• Obtain and update your status message.
• Share your activities and manage the updates you receive.
I quickly REMOVED this email option.
9. I look forward to any support/suggestions from your side to help resolve this
problem.
