hi zhaody1115,

AvastSvc.exe covers active network connections.

Version of Avast?

Do you use a torrent service?

Hi Chris Thomas, do you have any hint how these two things are related?

I am trying to hunt down the aswnet bluescreens, but even when trying hard I can not see any connection between this reported high memory usage and the crash in the network driver.

I would be more than happy for the hint you might have!
