I noticed on my task manager, in the processes tab, that there are two processes running which have “Avast” in their name. The processes are:
AvastSvc.exe*32 (currently using around 30,500K of memory)
avastui.exe*32 (currently using around 8,776K of memory)
I right-clicked and went to properties on both of these processes. The first one, AvastSvc.exe32, has a description (in the properties window) which says “avast! Service”. The second one, avastui.exe32, has a description (in the properties window) which says “avast! Antivirus”. There is a difference in the two descriptions. I don’t know if I’ve seen two processes by avast before. It’s possible they’ve always been there. I check my task manager frequently.
So, does anyone know if one of those processes is a malicious fake? As explained, when I right-clicked and went to properties, one was described as “avast! Service” and the other as “avast! Antivirus”, two different descriptions. So, should I be concerned about this? Or are BOTH of these supposed to be there? Thanks.
