4.5 problem? or do I have a virus?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I’m not sure if I have a virus or if the new version of avast! I just installed is acting up. I’m running the Nov2004 4.5.523 version of avast on Windows XP home. The problem is if I’m connected to the internet and not doing anything instead of not sending and receiving like normal, my connection says I’m sending and receiving about 1.6 Kilobytes at seamingly random intervals. I might not have ever noticed this if avast hadn’t popped up this warning at even more random intervals:

avast! On-Access Scanner Message
“DCOM Exploit” TCP packet from 221.187.59.236:135

Each time it comes up the IP is different (except the first 3 digits) and the port is the same. I’ve run Adaware and did a boot time scan with avast and neither came up with anything. Here follows my Hijackthis log, thanks for your help:

A couple more things:
I was wrong about the IP, the whole number changes, but the port is always 135.

Also when I open either the log viewer or the On-Access protection control I can find no record of the warning or of any recent activity.

Thanks again,

I’m stuck in the same situation. I’m running XP and using the 4.5 version of Avast. All of a sudden, in the last week I’ve been unable to get any updates. I’ve manually downloaded the last two updates so that I could scan & make sure I don’t have some new bug. The #80 error message is general, without a specific cause, simply stating that the program was unable to get the update from avast. I killed my XP firewall and rebooted to make sure it wasn’t causing the problem, even though Avast is checked off on my permitted access list. I scanned my whole hard drive for viruses but found none. This is the first problem I’ve had with Avast and I’ve been using their products for over a year and have been VERY happy with them. I tell everyone I can about this great software and have many converts. Any insight would be greatly appreciated - I don’t want to continue running around the web without my firewall or missing my updates!

I’ve just downloaded this program, and can’t seem to do a full scan. It just disappears. It looks like it scans ~ 6,000 files before shutting down.This is version 4.5, running XP Pro. I’d love to keep using the program. Help?
