The UAC is a windows protection feature and you will get that for any programme that attempts to change windows settings, your appdata folder contains all your temporary files from the internet so it will grow
Lets see if we can speed you up a tad now
Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop
THEN
Download and run Puran Disc Defragmenter
For the first run I would recommend a boot defrag and disk check

- Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
- It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
- Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
- Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.
