What Does aswRdr.sys Mean? - Got After Update

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I just got the update from v. 4.8.1356 to 4.8.1367 automatically. After being prompted to reboot my machine I received a message from my firewall asking me about aswRdr.sys, which was located after rebooting in C:\WINDOWS/system32\DRIVERS\aswRdr.sys.

Prior to getting the Avast upgrade, I had just done an AV check and a MBAM check and I’m clean.

Is this aswRdr.sys just part of the upgrade from Avast 4.8.1367? Thanks.

Thank you Pondus for your quick reply. I thought is was from Avast, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks again. :slight_smile:
