Hi!
I would like to know what is exactly the avast windows avast for? I guess that it is a way to share your computer with someone else on a more secured way, but I am not really sure if this is the purpose of it or if it has another use.
BTW, I am talking about the windows account, since I installed AVAST PRO I have my usual administrator account and a new administrator avast software update account.
THANK YOU!

It isn’t for a share, the avast software updater monitors certain programs and notifies and or installs updates for these programs. Commonly what it is monitoring are programs that are targeted for vulnerabilities (out of date) that can be exploited and or they are internet facing programs, browsers, email programs, etc.
If a program a update is available avast will try to download the update in the background and install it (depending on your avast program, Pro could do this). To be able to do this it may require higher permissions that the account being run, that is what this additional account is for.
