Is this normal?

I’m running latest build of avast 8 free, under w7x64bit, and today I notice that avastsvc.exe, and avastui.exe are in fact running under 32 bit emulation, avastsvc.exe32, avastui.exe32. From what I know only program installed under program filesx86 have this indicator “*32”, but my avast is installed in the program files, not in the program filesx86. I will attach a print screen. Is this normal? :-\

Yes, avast is a 32 bit application which will work on a 64 bit machine.
You will find a lot of software that does the same thing. :slight_smile:

Thank you for that, I honestly didn’t know this.

Yes I have the same thing on W8 64bit as well and I didn’t know some 32bit software can work on W8, not all 32bit software only some you still need to check though from their original website to see if the software may support W7 & W8 64bit before you install anything :wink:

I always do that, I never go blind and just install stuff :wink:
