What is "Antivirus Engine Server"?
« on: February 26, 2019, 07:41:00 PM »
Hello! I have an Avast process called "Antivirus Engine Server" (aswEngSrv.exe). What is the function of this process?

Thanks.

Presumably one would trust all processes identified as Avast s.r.o as trustworthy?  Or not?

I would imaging that this file would also be digitally signed by Avast.
