This certificate doesn't help to bypass UAC and "unsecure" prompt still be shown to the user.

  That's incorrect. All code authenticode signing certificates (trusted by microsoft) turns the UAC prompt from yellow to blue. EV certificates is probably for auto-trust for smartscreen.

    Only after you noticed that UAC color is blue instead of yellow i started to see difference. No user will understand this though.

      Up until reading this thread I wasn't even aware that there were different UAC colours.
