I've been using avast! 4.6 Home Edition on a Win. XP Pro SP2 system for about 2 months and earlier today after starting the computer noticed an Event Viewer entry:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7035
Date: 21/02/2006
Time: 3:54:06 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: WDGCR
Description:
The aswRdr service was successfully sent a start control.
As this is the first time I've seen such an entry, I'm curious as to why, and for what reason, the aswRdr service was sent a start control.
I assume the service wasn't actually started as there wasn't a subsequent Event Viewer entry "the aswRdr service entered the running state", nor any sign of it in Task Manager. What is the purpose of the aswRdr service?
