I have 512 MB Ram and a 866 MHz processor. I thought my memory problems would be over, but it seems I am wrong.

I was concerned I had a virus and was concerned when I noticed that AshServ.exe was the fourth highest running process at 13,336 VM Size with 63,000,000 I/O Reads in just 2 hours.

When WebRoot SpySweeper is scanning, and explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe (at 15,000 k each) are running including AshServ.exe, my system comes to a crippling halt. ???

Incidentally Svchost.exe takes the cake (pid 984) as the highest running process at 15,208 k.

I really like Avast AntiVirus. ;D I have used the product as a home user for more than a couple of years. I tried many of the others but kept coming back to Avast.

My final question: Does the Avast Home program itself get targeted by viruses, and if so, what should I be watching for?

Thanks!!! :slight_smile:
