Alright guys!

recently i have noticed that when i download a file and try to install it vista takes ages to open that file to install.

i downloaded a 300mb file and wanted to install the program and double clicked it but it took about 10min to open.

ive just downloaded a 1.6GB file and again try to install that and it just is taking ages like its Scaning the File?

there is a smybol of the anti virus shild thing next to all the exe files if you get me.

Can anyone help?
 
evantually i get a UAC prompt, think if i turn it off it would open straight away ?

running avast but that doesnt scan it or anything. its the windows default logo next to the exes
 
Can you not trytweak UAC to put UAC in to silent mode? this will ;leave it on, but help to vastly reduce the "bugging you" factor that UAC is infamous for.
