64 bit antivirus software

[spock]

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.

Re: 64 bit antivirus software

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?

Re: 64 bit antivirus software

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?

Re: 64 bit antivirus software

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
