Hi,
When I monitor disk activity with procmon, I see that AvastUI.exe writes to C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\AvastUI.log a lot...
Is there anyway to turn this logging off?
Perhaps I should just change permissions on the file so that it can't be written to?
I notice it is filling the log file with notice,info and warnings [swhealth_ui] asw::swu_ui::SoftwareHealthScanner::Initialize ... connecting service controller ... Failed to initialize: Rpc call failed SoftHealth_State failed (1753)
Perhaps it's because it is offline with no wifi. But in this case, it means being offline causes disk activity unncessarily.
The laptop has a slow HDD, so every hit counts, I would like to reduce the load on the disc.

I just set the AvastUI.log file to Read-Only via Right Click -> Properties in Windows File Explorer.
This seems to have worked and reduced disk load and increased machine performance.
