system

Vlk,
At first, you said that:
avast! uses RPC for its communication between ashServ.exe and ashDisp.exe (under NT based OSs only).
which I took to mean that Avast does not use RPC (at all) on non-NT based systems, eg 98se. (Hense my last post)
…and now you say:
under Win98, it uses RPC ONLY for the virus chest (i.e. to communicate between the virus chest and the rest of the system)
So, if this last is correct, it is, in fact, necessary for Avast to “start” RPCSS.exe as a running process on non-NT based OSs, and there is nothing to be done.
Can this procedure not be done some other way in future versions?
I do not seem to be alone in being concerned about having this process opening a port to the net, constantly.
(Jusme’s dll renaming trick may turn out to be problematic)
