Hello,
I had a big problem a few minutes ago and I fear that the problem comes back.
I switched on my computer, everything was normal, and I opened firefox 3.6.17 ... everything was normal at the beginning and after a few minutes, the computer suddenly became very slow, and I noticed that
AvastSvc.exe was taking almost 1 gb RAM !!! I had to fight to close firefox and to restart the computer.
So I restarted the computer, it normally started again, and I wanted to know if there was an infection in
AVAST, so I launched
MALWAREBYTE'S ANTIMALWARE.... When the program started, I had the same problem :
AvastSvc.exe suddenly took almost 1 gb RAM !!! After almost 1 minute it went back to its normal way of working (between 5 mb and 20 mb RAM) and I scanned with
MALWAREBYTE'S ANTIMALWARE that didn't find anything.
I don't understand what happened. There was no program update since at least 2 weeks, it updated the VPS normally ... I made a full scan yesterday that didn't find anything ....
I visited only sites where I use to go that are trusted sites, .... so I don't understand what happened and I fear that the problem be back a few minutes after each time I will start my computer :'(
Do you know what could have happened, please ?
All my computer details are in my signature
Thank you very much in anticipation
