I turn it on and at some point I see where it has been turned off. I have
had to do this at least (3) times this week.

Any help please as I would like to keep it on...
 
I have no idea what this means.

What I need to know is why it gets turned off. Has anyone reported a bug or
virus that might do this and if so, is there a fix?

Thanks
 
Yes, am being told that a reboot is necessary for it to be actually changed
back to ON...
 
OK if someone is not doing this deliberately.
Try starting in safe mode. Is it still turned off?
Try using System Configuration and startup tab and disable all those you
don't need.
Has it started since you installed something?
If so try system restore.
Keep trying but in the end you may have to re-install WIN7
Good luck

I've been using Vista with UAC turned off since about an hour after I
first turned on my laptop a couple years ago. No problems.

You do have a firewall and a/v program installed, don't you?

Windows 7 allows finer control over user accounts -- it's not just an
on/off situation there.
