90% of users when they are presented with the UAC popup when they do something:

"Yes yes whateverrr"

It would be trivial to add a "please click 'yes' to the UAC prompt to allow verification" screen, so that isn't really going to stop anyone.

I've seen a bit of office malware in the past that did that, where it had a bunch of images instructing you to enable macros and that.
