Disable the UAC
This is the one that keeps interfering with requests for Administrator permission.
1. Press the Windows Key +R
2. type msconfig
3. Go to the tools TAB, scroll down to Disable UAC and click run. A command prompt will pop up saying Command completed successfully.
On your next restart the service will be gone.

Keep uac active, but get rid of annoying popups.
When UAC is enabled, software which is run "As Administrator" requires, by default, that a pop-up prompt be responded to, and the Administrator password required (or, if no password has been defined, just a click in the box).

It is possible to get rid of this annoying pop-up, as follows:

Start/Run and type secpol.msc

Select Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Options
scroll down to

User Account Control: behaviour of the elevation prompt for admins
User Account Control: behaviour of the elevation prompt for standard users

For each line, select the desired option
Selecting "No prompt" will get rid of the annoying pop-up boxes, and will also help software load faster
User Account Control:Run All users, including admins, as standard users: Disabled
Reboot
