Hello,
I'm not sure what I did, but since a few weeks ago, a pop-up user access control window pops up, asking me to type in an administrator password to continue when I try to run a program.
I have a single user account on my machine and I never defined an administration password. Until recently, the UAC window just asked me whether I was allowing the program to continue but did not ask for any password.
How to get rid of this ?
Note: I tried to restart in safe mode, pressing F8 while the computer restarted but I haven't been able to enter the safe mode. I guess I need to precise direction to do this as well should that be the first step.
Maybe linked ? Hopefully not: I also have a .exe file called hpzsetup.exe that pops up as well and the administrator UAC window pops-up to launch the application. Not sere whether this is a virus ? Bit Defender did dedect a suspicious application file but the filename was Chrome_Setup.exe. I've put it in quarantine.
Thanks,
Catherine.
