AVAST CRASH

[randym]

Hello,

I am running AVAST Server on all of my server systems. All has been working well however as of late i have been having an issue with a few of my systems rebooting. These systems have a failure with LSASS.EXE then they shutdown and reboot. My first thought was some form of the sasser virus. After scanning these systems with every tool known to man I have found nothing at all. After reviewing logs I have found that right before the system crashes avast crashes. I have pasted the errors below. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Randy

Please check the folder <avast>\data\log. Does it contain any files with name unpXXX? (XXX is a random number)

If so (and their length is non-zero), please send them to my email address.

Also, doesn't the Antivirus category of the event log show any corresponding entries?


Thanks

Sorry for the delayed reply! 

There are no zero length files in that folder. Also there are no entries in the Antivirus event log.

I do not want to speak to soon but I think I may have resolved this issue! I reinstalled windows 2k3 SP1 and the reboot problem has gone away. The server has been stable for just over 48 hours. I also did the same thing to another system that had the very same problem and it to has not rebooted after reinstalling sp1.

I am not sure what I have learned from this other then I have not a clue what started the problem. THAT IS A SCARY PLACE TO BE!!!!.
