Hello Everyone

I am using avast home and every now and then it calls a programm called ashserv32.exe
which by it's name is 32 bit the trouble it uses 25% cpu. This is a pain when I am runing
the only game I play as this makes it unplayable.
btw I have dual core cpu E6750
Is there any 64 bit antivirus software that does not have this problem?

Thank you.

It would be eminently more logical if you were to pose this
question in the forums associated with the respective
software - Avast and the specific game you are using. This
is not what one would logically call a Windows operating
system problem.

Spock,
I cannot find that file neither in my Vista x64 PC nor in my 32-bit notebook.
Both have avast 64-bit and 32-bit respectively.
The closest match is "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashServ.exe" in
both machines.
Will it be some spyware in disguise?
Carlos

My mistake the file should read ashserv.exe *32
as for my av all default settings as is my internet connection which is 1.5mb

I run Avast and do not see any of this, any how, 25% off of your twin-core
shouldn't have such severe punishment - could there be something, not quite
right with your i-net connection or AV setup?
