The first thing I did after getting Vista was disabling all the annoying security features that it came with. Seriously, the amount of popups, alerts and messages is this big that you simply click them away without even reading what it's warning you for

. I've been using windows (any version) without it's built-in security features for years and I've never, ever had a security problem... the best security solution is a clear mind that knows what it's doing !
Actually, that's why for added security, there's only one administrator account and so if I need to make a system-wide change, I force myself to enter the admin password every single time.
As annoying as it may sound, it really isn't. Mac, Linux and basically all of UNIX world have been accustomed to this for the longest time and Microsoft finally realized that they missed this really basic security feature.
So, leave your UAC on, else you'll basically be asking for it when disaster strikes.
