Hi *,

just wanted to ask if anyone of you have seen the notorious ashServ.exe error on system shutdown with the latest avast build (4.6.665)?
(The error message says something like

"The instruction at 0x7c910e03 referenced at memory 0x00000000 could not be read. Click ok to terminate the program" and  the title of the dialog is ""ashServ.exe error".

The problem has been dicussed a number of times on this forum, see e.g.
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=11945.0 or
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=12373.0 or

We made some changes in the last version and would be curious if they fixed the problem or not... I'm not too optimistic in this case - but one never knows. ;)


Thanks
Vlk

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

Sorry I'm probably not much help here -- no problems at all so far, but it was extremely rare for me (maybe two or three times total) in the earlier versions.

I vaguely seem to remember that in my case, when it did happen was if I shut down with the Standard shield paused for whatever reason.  But far more often, I've done the same thing with no problems, so who knows?

It was very rare for me.
It happened when Explorer.exe crashed before shutting down.
Now, until now, no problems  ;)

I occasionally have blue screen crashes on windows shutdown that still occur with the latest version but I am hesitant to blame Avast!.  Does win95 generate a log we can check?

Have experienced these crashes quite frequently on two of my three laptops. On one of them it happened every time when shutting down, on the other one the crashes were about every third or fourth shutdown.  A third laptop has never had these crashes at all. - Now, with the latest build, all three systems seem to be crash free.

Sorry to say, I have had the problem twice since the update. Fortunately, it's just a minor annoyance. I'm still puzzled, though, about why it's so hard to fix.
