ASWServ.exe using 100% of a CPU
« on: March 23, 2010, 02:45:24 PM »
I am using Avast server edition on a Windows SBS server 2003 machine, but the problem is that the Avast process ASWServ.exe is using 100% cpu sometimes, this will make the server extremely instable. Please help!

are you running scans on that moment?
planned scans
manual scans

if so what kind of scans?
what are the hardware specs?

Well sometimes the cpu is 100% now its about 50% because 2 out of 4 processor kernels are running 100%. And still lot's of disk activity

Please create a memory dump of the aswServ.exe process.
The process is described e.g. here:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=56551.msg477260#msg477260

(obviously replacing AvastUi by aswServ)

Thanks

Yesterday the performance got so bad that I uninstalled avast!, now the server is working fine... This morning I reinstalled avast! and after an hour or 5 it hung, at least 50% cpu usage, I am using multicore processor... I tried to create a memory dump but there is no process aswServ.exe visible, only aswDisp.exe probably because aswServ.exe is a system process. Is there another way to create a memory dump?

I would appreciate it when someone from Avast will respond to my call, I need help. I have no antivirus protection at this moment because Avast fails. I allready called the support devision in NL and explained the problem.. but after 1 week still no respons....
