Hi,
I've just re-installed Sygate Personal Firewall (free edition) and on looking at the Log Viewer I found the following:
"Application Hijacking has been detected
The application: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashDisp.exe try to launch another application: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\avast.setup to go to remote host download5.avast.com"
I first setup Sygate yesterday and a few minutes ago I downloaded & installed the latest build which was when I found the above.
I didn't get any warning or anything and the above is entered in the log as 'Information' - can anyone explain it please?
Regards,
John Latter

In simple words: It just means Avast is looking if there is a update for the vps or program. So nothing to worry about.

Thanks Artras!
Mind you, I wasn't worried at all
Well maybe a little bit
OK, I was panic-striken :)
Regards,
John
