I ran the update for the program and VPS and I have the latest versions, I don’t think I’ve updated the program since I installed so could a VPS update cause Zonealarm to say ashServ.exe had changed? What you should also notice is that the build of my program and the build of ashServ.exe given in the alert are not the same (you can see the build in my first post), is this normal?
Also, I know I’ve asked this before but I don’t seem to have read a clear cut answer of whether or not ashServ.exe needs internet access to function?
I’m also listing the processes in task manager which I think are related to avast! so you can see if I have any missing or there are any anomalies.
ashMaiSv.exe
ashServ.exe
ashSimpl.exe
aswUpdSv.exe
If you look at my initial post Technical you’ll see this information that Zonealarm gave me about the program asking for internet access, please look through the details and tell me if anything looks out of place to you:
[b]Alert Information:
Program Name: ashServ.exe
Program Version: 4,1,287,0
Program Size (bytes): 0
Date Modified: Nov-30-1979 12:00am (I think this is the time of day I got down, if not, it’s close)[/b]
As well as asking on the forum I also ran a complete avast scan on my system and found nothing. EDIT: I also forgot to add that I recently got an error message about ashServ.exe at shutdown and was asked to close it manually, unfortunately I was in the last stages of shutdown and I couldn’t get down the details, this may be linked so is there anywhere errors like these are logged?
Lastly I can supply the IP address it was trying to contact if that will help and it is safe to do so.
Thanks.
PS I assume it’s okay to leave resident protection on while I scan? This is what I have been doing.
