ez anti virus

When I boot my pc I get 2 messages from the user account control regarding the EZ anti-virus software. I checked the manaul how to allow these programs to run without confirmation (properties of the .exe, compatiblility, run this progrmn as administrator checked), but still the messages. What do I need to do to get rid of these messages ?

1. Are you referring to EZ Trust Anti-Virus (Computer Associates)
2. Are the dialogs asking you to enter the administrator password?
I'm using the same software and I'm being asked for password (twice) every time I log on.
I'd say it's annoying but that's an understatement.
I'm glad that Microsoft is getting better at security, But they have gone overboard in a few areas (this one of them) and still have dropped the ball elsewhere. Making every account an Administrator account by default (this is a uniquely Windows thing) is insane.

Today I've installed Avast 4.7 and it seems works fine on Vista beta2: "avast! Antivirus and Windows Vista Get antivirus protection for your Windows Vista beta 2 now. We're pleased to announce that avast! antivirus now fully supports Windows Vista." http://www.avast.com/

Yes I've got the exact same problem
When I upgraded my XP SP2 machine to this latest Vista Build I had a version 7.0.8 (I think) CA EZ-AV installed - it really didnt work but I maaged to download the latest update to 7.1.something and all was well for about 30secs then I had major problems with crashing and the realtime agent not working. I DID NOT get these prompts at this time though and admitidly the crashes were prob to do with other issues but in the end I uninstalled CA EX-AV and re-installed it. All was fine until 2 reboots when the realtime agent refused to load again.
AGAIN I uninstalled and re-installed and since then experience the same problem the UAC prompts twice (once for each of the taskbar icons) at boot time asking if its ok to run these apps.
Alas the AV is finally working pretty stable for the moment but the prompts are a little bit of a nuisance. No solution as yet but will be watching this thread or providing the solution if/when I find it.
I thought you might be able to approve these icons in windows defender or somewhere but no!!!

I had problems with CA for Vista-so I switched to Avast! and after the first reboot and update the UAC did not activate each boot for Avast! www.avast.com use the latest beta version-it updates every other day it seems which to me is good-and it is not a resourse hog

Anyone know of a way to disable these prompts without turning off UAC altogether? Not necessarily for this anti-virus software but for any app that requires admin privileges.

Aah. Then you're running on an account with full Administrative privlidges.
I'm not, hence the request for the Administrator password (twice) when I log on.

There's your problem right there. I never even considered upgrading XP to Vista beta. That's just asking for trouble. I'm dual booting (well actually quadruple booting) Vista with XP (and Linux and FreeBSD...).

I'm sure it will present the same problem as EZ Trust though. Windows wants you to enter the Administrator password (a la "sudo" in Mac OS X/Linux/Unix..) which I normally like. But a program that's set to start up for any user (more or less as a service - if not it should be) shouldn't be asking a user for an administrator password (twice) every time they log on.

Are you typicaly working in Vista in a regular (non administrator account). If so, I may look at switching. If not, I'll stick with what I've got.

NO! Not with Avast 4.7

No the upgrade wasnt the problem!! after the upgrade, ok the realtime agent wasnt working but I was NOT being asked for permission to load the tray icons which is what you would expect for programs that run at startup just like the many others currently loading at startup and loading a tray icon. In order to get the Anti Virus realtime protection loading correctly I had to upgrade my version of the software, so I uninstalled it and re-installed the latest version which fixed that problem but now whenever the tray icons want to load I have to give permission once for each icon. The icons dont have anything to do with the realtime agent and installing the software from scratch is the same as installing it on a new vista build. Besides being a beta we're supposed to test these things including how they upgrade

I know I'm late to this thread, but if you're watching it, I have some answers for you, since I see nothing was answered 100%.
It is just the tray icons that won't get loaded and if you want to keep UAC running but don't want to see the promts, simply disable CIVRID.exe and CAVTray.exe.
I'm not 100% sure if the auto-update for CAV continues to work without the CAVTray.exe running. Just keep an eye on that (Windows Security Center should let you know if your definitions get out of date anyway).
I JUST installed CAV today, so I'll watch the updates and let you know if it doesn't update.
This isn't ideal, and I'm sure they'll fix this at a later date.
You do still have full protection though, if you want to see for yourself simply go to http://eicar.com/ and try to download the test file. EZ Antivirus has a FIT! :-) Just like it's supposed to.
