Title: What is Avast Elevation Service?
Post by: amiewarren73 on January 17, 2019, 02:55:32 PM

Non-techie here, so ELI5.

My watchdog program came up this morning with a message that Avast was trying to initiate Avast elevation service, or something like that. I denied it, because I didn't know what it was. Is this something I should allow? What is it?
