I have absolutely no bloody idea...
this is NOT a problem and with some programs I actually do want to be alerted before they load..

is it normal for malware bytes to trigger a UAC warning(the usual do you want to allow this program to make changes)?

How exactly would you expect an anti-malware program to fight malware if it's not running with administrative privileges?

How many apps that require admin privs to run do NOT pop it up every time you run it? I guess I don't understand your point.. It seems completely illogical to expect any other behavior. If it asks for it once it will ask for It every time...
