Avast 4.7 Home - Large Memory Usage in Ashwebsv.exe

Hi Turboff,

I took a look at your dump, and I think the problem is related to a rogue Winsock LSP called xfire_lsp_8742.dll, that’s somehow installed on your machine.
Could you please try to remove it see if it resolves the issue?

The step-by-step instructions on how to remove it are here: http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic18355.html

Thanks

Alright, I’ve done it, Vlk. Now the waiting begins again.

It looks like it worked, Vlk! It’s been two days now and no problems, whereas before it messed up every couple of hours. Thank you.

Sounds good. Thanks for taking your time and posting back.

Cheers :slight_smile:
Vlk
