Why do I get the message asking me to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer whenever I click on the Firefox icon?
When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop, instead of struggling just to the Firefox page, I get a box asking me if it's good for Firefox to make changes to my computer. If I hit Yes, I get the Firefox page. If I don't hit, I get nothing. What is the reason for this?
Check that you are not Firefox running as administrator.
Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.
- Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
- "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected
Also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program directory.

Why windows will ask permission to allow Skype to make changes to this computer?
Original title: open Skype with windows firewall 7.
When Skype (ver.5.2.60.113) try to open, windows 7 application firewall to allow Skype to make changes to this computer. All Windows Firewall settings are configured to allow Skype. I even made a new rule for "ProgramFiles (x 86) \Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" to be allowed in the inbound and outbound rules, but nothing helps. Is this a bug or a dark environment. I think it happened since Skype last updated.
Hello
I suggest you to change the setting of user account in windows 7 and check if it helps to refer to the article below:
Guided Help: adjust the settings of user account control in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/975787
Also check out the article below
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-user-account-control-settings
Warning: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.
Hope this helps,

I downloaded the Scanner Microsoft, ran, and as he ran, he came twice to the top with a message box read, "If you cancel the analysis, the tool doesn't scan and clean your computer. Malicious or unwanted software that the tool can help to eliminate can be left on your computer. Are you sure you want to cancel? "I don't understand why it would come once and even twice, because I didn't click anything while the scan is running. I stopped the scan and disconnected my cable modem and then ran the scan, get the same message twice again. A reflection as to why it appeared? XP Home Edition / 32-bit.

Hi Jniles,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.
Do you have connected to your computer as an administrator?
User Account Control (UAC) notifies you before changes are made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. The default UAC notifies you when programs try to make changes to your computer, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.
Open user account control settings by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type uac, and then click change user account control settings.
Please visit these links for more information:
