As its avastUI.exe so I am sure its not for update, for update the process is "avast.setup.exe"

To end your curiosity I tell you... avastUI connects to internet to show the advt about avast IS or Pro (not sure which one) thats it and ya the news service also...

I hope I am not wrong  ;D

avast has many servers, in various places...

avastUI makes a connection to download the ad (Free version), and the news information...

Thanks Scott. That seems to be the reason.
My mistake about avast.setup and avastUI.exe.

Ahh, explains much, my bad, I did a lookup on avast.com and assumed they used a server cluster instead of distributed locations.

46.4.58.113 is indeed one of our servers, namely one of about a dozen servers that program.avast.com resolves to.

See e.g. http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=dnsrec&host=program.avast.com

Thanks
