security windows vista

for what is it good when we have this many security options on vista??
i have spent most of this day on closing them because i was unable to install the drivers which i needed. i also have now problems with these stupid security settings and they only cause trouble. and the incompability of win vista with win xp software is also realy disturbing

what is the sense of so many security options on vista?? i have spent most of this day on disabeling them because i was unable to install the drivers which i needed. i also have problems with these stupid security settings and they only cause trouble. and the incompability of win vista with win xp software is also realy disturbing

The security that is there is to prevent things like spyware and viruses from affecting the system if protection is not present, and also to prevent other corrupt files from doing damage to the system. The UAC settings are getting a big revamp in future builds from what I've heard and read, so the security dialogs asking for permission and such should get much less annoying in the future.
