How do I disable UAC for individual programs, like anti-virus?

Hello,
I sort of feel safer with the User Account Control feature.
However, I recently installed an anti-virus program, and every time I
start the computer it needs me to grant elevated permissions manually
(rest of screen turns grey and I need to click "continue"). I do know
how to disable the feature as a whole, but is it not possible to disable
the need to approve the programs I use every day, like the anti-virus
startup or for that matter some often-used games that need admin
permissions..?

What AV software is that? Are you sure that it is actually 100% compatible
with Vista?

That doesn't actually tell the user the answer he wants.
It tells you how to make a program always prompt for "UAC".
What the user (and I) would like is a way to make the program run at
elevated level without the prompt.
Thanks.

Here is something you may want take a look at:

While that is interesting it doesn't appear to be that useful here.
I am trying to work out how it maintains the security by silently elevating
anything that wants to be elevated.
Maybe I misunderstand what it does?

Precisely, why isn't there a checkbox that says 'Don't prompt for elevation
again, I trust this program'?

Just INSTALL the program elevated. The app will stay elevated then.

Because Microsoft doesn't know how to write good software.

Wrong again you stupid idiot. Once third party software drivers are
certified the prompt no longer comes.
Dance for us georgie-boy.
