For god’s sake Windows Vista.
I downloaded installed a program to view my cache.
Windows tells me “this program wants to access your computer: Cache Viewer, do I let it?”
Okay fair enough, even though it doesnt say what that access actually *means*.
So then I run the program and it doesnt work. I go to uninstall it in the control panel.
Then pops-up another window saying
“This program wants to access your computer: Unidentified Publisher, do I let it?”
…what?! It *knows* what it’s uninstalling, it only just installed the damn thing.
And why does it need special access to *remove* a program?
What the hell is the point in having that safety feature, if it can’t give me any information about what I’m allowing access to what?
It’s actually much worse than not having it at all, because its teaching people to just click “ok” when they dont understand what’s happening.
