I had a recent discussion with a friend about the different ways a virus can operate on a computer

During our discussion we talked about the different ways a malicious software can run each start with admin privileges if its installed on the computer

one of the ways i know about is using task scheduler to do so

i told him i once read that its possible to run an EXE with an interactive windows service and i wanted to know if an interactive windows service can also run an EXE with admin privileges.
