Sorry for my late response:
I agree with Jg99. UAC doesn't really help much anymore because of the following reasons:
A: Smart viruses can bypass Windows UAC.
B: Most users don't even pay attention to the UAC popups anymore and just click on the "yes" button without even reading what the UAC is trying to say.
C: It's really annoying. :D
I suggest getting an antivirus that has its own UAC built in such as Comodo or Kaspersky. At least if a virus attempts to bypass their UAC, the virus will be suspended by the antivirus until you decide what to do with it. In most cases the antivirus will have a popup with choices such as "Delete, Quarantine, and Sandbox".
I also might add that antivirus programs like Comodo have configurations, which you can set so if any unsigned/unknown program tries to load, they will either be loaded in a virtual environment so your physical hard drive cannot be harmed, OR you can set the config to just block any unknown programs that try to run which I do not recommend as AssaultCube is considered "unsigned".
I hope this helps.
