ok, I checked the file aswmon2.sys.sys at C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\INF and it is version 4.0.191.0 and was modified September 11, 2003. It is the same version and modified date as the aswmon2.sys file located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.
I made no changes.
Avast requested a reboot today after a definition update. I checked the files in the two folders before and after the reboot.
Why does Avast ask to reboot this system (the 2.4c intel on a asus p4p800deluxe with a gig of ram) when it just makes an anouncement on the 800amd machine?
