Have just carried out scan with Highjackthis and the report shows the folowing:
023 Service :avast!Mail Scanner-unknown owner-C\Program Files\Awil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe"/service (file missing)
023-Service:avast!Web Scanner-unknown owner-C:\ProgramFiles\Alwil Software\Avast4\AshWebSv.exe"/service(file missing)
As far as I can tell everything is working OK, a bit slow to start up but that seems normal since I bean to use Avast. I have disabled Outlook, P2P and Instant Messaging scans as I do not use them. Any ideas?
It’s a (known) bug in HijackThis - nothing is actually missing.
As Igor said it is a bug with the 023- reporting of the latest 1.99.1 version of HJT, you can easily prove it, all you need do is check the location given by HJT using explorer and you will see ashWebSv.exe is there. I think it is being confused by the /service switch at the end of the path.
Thanks guys, always reassuring to know there are people out there who know what they are talking about and willing to help jim
