Hi JusMe.
Thanks for the tip about disabling the rpcltscm.dll.
Have renamed it and am happy to see that RPCSS no longer has any connections open to the outside world.
I feel better now, even though I already had the firewall blocking it.
While I really like the quick incremental upgrades for Avast and a number of other features, it does appear to have a few rough edges like this, but I suppose that’s why it’s free.
Took me a while to realize that it was Avast which had activated RPCSS on my PC as I did a number of simultaneous changes recently (always a bad idea) and it was only discovering this forum which confirmed my suspicions.
Really do not like the idea of a server running on my Win98 machine, even if it is hiding behing a firewall!
