Count me as ANOTHER worried user.
There is no doubt that Avast does initialise the RPCSS command, which is basically a local server which kicks in PRIOR to my firewall. (hence no point blocking it)
The question we gotta ask peeps, is W H Y ? ? ? ?
This aint no conflict with another program or anything to do with the updating (which still works after I shut RPCSS.EXE down, which I gotta use a utility to do as it doesn't appear under the active tasks menu....shady underhand process)
So c'mon MODS, where's the answers to these questions?????
1. Why does your program NEED TO start the RPCSS.EXE process?
2. Can we stop your program from executing this process?
3. How do you think your users would respond if they were informed that the security product they are using actually invites a hacker to target a specific port.
Hang on a minute.......
Maybe that IS the point!
Make the PC vunerable to hackers so that when the antivirus software kicks to protect us from the scummy no life low life, we all think, 'Hey, I'm glad I had this software!'
I'm assuming the mod's that were away when this thread started are now back from sunning themselves, SO LETS HAVE SOME ANSWERS before I delete this brilliant software.
Yes, I know I've had a good whinge, but I really DO love the software, resources are sweet compared to other memory hogging alternatives, but I just can't cope with this daft, and seemingly pointless server it starts.
