I just updated to the new free version of Avast and I was wondering what the process names that would appear on task manager would be. I have Windows Vista and I had looked around before but the list of processes I’d found were from several versions ago and the only one that’s on my task manager is avastui.exe and none of the others I’ve seen.
Very easily found. Open up task manager. Make sure to check off “process for all users”. Then sort by name. When everything is alphabetized its easier to find. Here is a screen shot. There is a 3rd process though which is only present while Avast is updating. That is called “avast.setup”.
If you are really quick after boot you will see another one that relates to the avast emergency updater. You may also see avast.setup that checks for the virus definitions auto update, both of these disappear after completing their checks.
