Re: Why would Chrome have the privileges required?

I think the whole point is to install applications in Program Files to protect the rest of the computer. Installing an application in the user's profile is asking for trouble.

For some, UAC is just a reminder that something wants to install or update. ie Why is this box popping up if I didn't initiate it.
