The screendumps will probably not be saved on disk. However it is now far more susceptible to a virus/worm investation or spreading in your system. I'm not sure the trade-off favours the screendump in my book. It is alot more sensible to not follow the default install location and install it outside of the Program Files folder. That makes modding life so much simpler.

Well, each has to decide. I hate what they did with UAC, so I cut it off, but don't blame me if you do it and get a virus...I've never had a problem with it, not one virus or hacker, ect...that's what good virus protection and a firewall is for. Most I know in gaming just cut it off, moreso if you run lots of apps...There are suppose to be better work arounds, but none worked for me.. I run lots of differnt apps and could never get to anything until I cut it off...However,,,I'm back to my other rig with good old XP when I can get my son off it.

I seldom play on the win 7 machine and have everything loaded, but I probably will try a different location outside the program folder when I go back.

Still, most just cut it off for gaming and I ain't heard of anyone having a problem if they have good virus software.

Each to his own, but that'll fix the SS issue, but I know little of win 7, so trust those that use it a lot and not me....
