Anyone need to know. ?

Avast 4.6 Build Mar2005 4.6.603 and Win2000

Just in the last few days since recent Avast Autoupdate, I get the known ashserv.exe Tried to execute memory @----error during shutdown

Also , this occurence has started in the last few days too…the Windows Color logo flashes continuously (5X per second) during O.S. Load

This is just after the W2K black screen with vertical white progress bars “Windows is Loading”, and before the pale blue screen “Windows is setting your personal settings”.)

Thereafter no problems during long 10 hr operation of Windows VB6, VPN connection, Internet access and lots of programs running.

Avast scan of all local disks runs OK, as does Sygate Firewall.

I am unworried since I see it may only be a recurring shutdown bug, but I thought support might like to know.

Taskmgr
aswUpdSrv.exe 172K
ashWebSv.exe 6.68M
ashServ.exe 1.36M
ashMaiSv.exe 1.36M
ashDisp.exe 4.0M

Will supply more info if requested
