I did install the AVAST and with hijackthis i can notice this arguments:
O23 - Service: avast! iAVS4 Control Service (aswUpdSv) - Unknown owner - C:\Programs\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswUpdSv.exe
O23 - Service: avast! Antivirus - Unknown owner - C:\Programs\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashServ.exe
O23 - Service: avast! Mail Scanner - Unknown owner - C:\Programs\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe" /service (file missing)
O23 - Service: avast! Web Scanner - Unknown owner - C:\Programs\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe" /service (file missing)
Why is signaled as UNKNOWN USER
Hoe can i fix this?
You can not fix this… that’s something that people from HijackThis should fix in their program. It’s well known that HijackThis reports these values by mistake, but still no one on their side is doing anything regarding that issue. That should be one priority IMO, since avast! is one of the most respectable antivirus tools out there, and it just makes people scared when they see something like that…
As P3t3rb0nn already said, nothing to worry…
Also, there are many threads in this forum explaining same thing… you just have to use search feature (button up there). These are just few of hundreds, and I found them in a second:

…and many, many others…
Cheers !
Ignore any 023 reference to avast processes, this is a hiccup in the HJT 1.99.1 (especially missing file entry for avast).
Don’t fix it, nothing to worry, just a minor error from HijackThis.
Don’t worry about it. Its an error in the hijackthis program.
Oops… didn’t notice that four people had already said the same thing. ;D
Hey, alot people ask the same question about this hijackthis error more than people answer it. ;D Including me.
