Hi,
In Windows Task Manager an instance of svchost.exe (with a PID number of 956) is continuously accessing my hard drive at a frequency of just under once per second.
With the help I got on a related post I’ve used tasklist.exe to
establish that svchost.exe (PID 956) has the following components:
AudioSrv, BITS, Browser, CryptSvc, Dhcp,
ERSvc, EventSystem, helpsvc, lanmanserver,
lanmanworkstation, Netman, Nla, RasMan,
Schedule, seclogon, SENS, SharedAccess,
ShellHWDetection, srservice, TapiSrv,
Themes, TrkWks, W32Time, winmgmt, wscsvc,
wuauserv, WZCSVC
Ashserve.exe is accessing the drive at the same time (I presume svchost is triggering it) and I’ve used a program called filemon which gives the following info:
08:11:55 ASHSERV.EXE:1588 READ C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\Avast4.mdb SUCCESS Offset: 3584 Length: 512
There are lots and lots of these entries in filemon for ashserve and they are all identical. Does this mean anything and could someone tell me what Avast4.mdb is please?
