when I use utorrent,ashserv.exe goes up to 80% cpu usage.so I have disabled p2p shield.Is there another way to solve this problem???
Is this only when you are downloading something or all the time?
only when utorrent is on…
I have found the same thing today. I’m downloading a couple of 2-3GB torrents in utorrent, and the speed graph this morning is up and down in a regular sawtooth shape. The whole PC stops responding (even to mouse movements) for 3-10 seconds, then the graph shows a speed decrease then a huge increase (up to 104kBps though my ADSL can only sustain 52kBps normally).
Windows Task Manager shows ashServ.exe at 99% (when it eventually updates after the pause). I turned on the avast Standard Shield “Show detailed info on performed action”, but more often than not, there is NO file indicated during or after the pause. I had Web Shield off.
Curiously I haven’t ever seen this behaviour before. I wondered if one of the torrents which contains several hundred individual files was scanning each file as it completed - but no correlation there.
Just downloaded 4GB yesterday with uTorrent 1.6 and there was no extra CPU load from Avast, I run Peer Guardian in background as well.
I’ve got the same problem.
This caused by P2P Shield in Avast!. I just disabled uTorrent in it’s config, but I’ve lost guard. Maybe they fix this next time… :
To create the dump, download and run http://public.avast.com/~vlk/hangrep.exe . In the list of processes select uTorrent.exe and use the Save button. This generates a file which you can either send to his email address vlk (at) avast.com (if it’s smaller than e.g. 1 MB, ZIPed), or upload to ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming
