Incoming TCP connection from ashWebSv.exe

Viruses and worms

I’ve been using Avast and Comodo firewall together for a decent amount of time now, but I can’t recall if I ever got prompted for incoming connections from ashWebSv.exe before. I recently reinstalled Comodo and am having to reset all my rules.

Anyways, I got an incoming TCP connection from ashWebSv.exe to port 52000 which I keep open for another program. The IP address was 81.36.190.108. This seemed a bit odd, so I’ve got it blocked for now.

Is this suppose to happen?
