Dump is 357,073 lines.... is there somewhere I should e-mail it?

Yes, mail it. Better, zip the file and send the archive ;)

The dump is a binary file, so I'm not sure how you count the number of "lines". I'd say it should be rather big to be sent by e-mail...
I suggest to upload it to to our FTP: ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming

I want to report High CPU use from ashWebSv, but only of Avast! 4.8. ashWebSv of Avast! 4.7 is just working fine, with normal CPU use.

that would be a good guess... if I ran a P2P program on my systems. I run
1) secure shell
2) firefox 3.0
3) thunderbird
4) FTP.

Heck I don't even run yahoo or aim much less a p2p.

Hello again. This is how ashwebsv looks by me. Also, I've upload my firewall log, that you can see what ashwebsv trying to do.

I experienced this problem against last night at home, but I had decided not to post about it.

However, today I have experienced this problem at work. Also Windows XP but SP2 and very different hardware and software installed. The avast! On-Access Scanner reported that it had last scanned www.veoh.com/dwr/exec (it may have been longer but this is all I could see).

The same entires are appearing in the AshWebSv.ws log and TCPView shows the same odd number of listening entires all on the same IP/port.

I have been facing this problem for some days now and thought i could live with it until it got fixed or something but now it starts getting really irritating. It happens every day now and the only solution is to restart my computer. It always happens when i have firefox 3 (almost all the time) open and as other people said i have lots of connections in netstat when this occurs. It seems that this number keeps increasing (because i have connections like this even before ashwebsv starts hitting 50% cpu usage) and at some point when this becomes really big the problem occurs.

I currently disabled avast (not uninstalled) hoping that you are looking into the problem. Can you please confirm you are looking into the problem and if you think it can/will be solved some time soon?
Thanks.

Firefox will keep the connections open to increase speed.

High memory and CPU consumption is one of the reasons I do not use Firefox.

IE7 with IE7Pro works just as good without the Firefox problems.

By the way, TCPView will show you more information:

So, let me see if I understand this.

It's not a problem with avast webshield. Even though it didn't happen in a priopr version and does in the latest version.

It is a problem with Firefox even though the problem didn't exist in the old version with Firefox, but does in the new version.

Wow! Thanks for clearing that up.

Firefox doesn't change, webshield does, and the problem is Firefox's fault.

As a former CTO, you don't mind if I say that is the weakest excuse I have ever heard and I feel that it is a totally bogus response.
