About administrator authorization in Vista/Win7
Is the only way to get through the administrator authorization dialog box that I type in the password by myself? Do malicious softwares have other ways to get through(e.g. record my typing and repeat it when they are asked for authorization)?--Inspector (talk) 14:51, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * No, software that doesn't already have administrative privileges can't observe or affect anything that happens while the authorization box is visible (with dimmed background). But it could put up a dialog box of its own that mimics the standard one and record those keystrokes, then use the password to gain administrative privileges (which can be done without any UI, I think). It could also exploit some Windows bug to get administrative privileges, then sniff your keystrokes and try to use the same password to compromise an email/banking account, for example. -- BenRG (talk) 20:33, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * How do Windows judge whether a program or a specific step requires administrator authorization? I see in some executable files a shield icon indicates that; is it a tag embedded in the executable?--Inspector (talk) 01:33, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes that's correct, see User_Account_Control, though there are some additional heuristics to provide backwards compatibility with executables created for earlier versions of windows, for example any program named setup.exe or install.exe is assumed to need administrator privileges as explained in (search for setup).

StarCraft VOD restriction
Why some StarCraft VODs got restricted (such as this one: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/games/55849_Hydra_vs_Jaedong/vod, although they were backed up by versions with English commentaries)? The message says they are videos with limited access. --93.174.25.12 (talk) 21:39, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
