If you open Comodo control panel / Firewall tab / Network Security Policy.. Then where the entry C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastSvc.exe ... is right click on the entry and select "Edit", then select "Use a Pre Defined Policy" then use the drop down box and select "Trusted Application" then "Apply" before you exit

It's currently using 5.3 MB on my WIN 7 SP1 installation. Are you sure it's using 4 MB and not 40 MB?

Please post a screen shot of Task Manager that shows avastsvc.exe details.

Close firefox and any other tool using any type of connection. Then wait a few seconds to see if avastsvc.exe's memory usage goes down.

what do you mean with "everything"? Is "tuneup" closed? Do you have some torrent tool (or any P2P)? Any other "automatic" defrag or any other system tool schedule or running on the back?

Would you be interested on "cleaning up" your current installation of avast (using the specific removal utility and manual deletion of any possible remnant) so to start up clean?

Are you 100% sure that any other old security tool that you ever used has not left any other remnants?

Besides the security tools you used in the past (which should be "cleaned up" using the respective removal utilities after their uninstallation), which other security tools you have now?

I don't schedule anything. Tuneup is not closed, i just closed all windows. I used Kaspersky before but i removed it by kavremover. Now i combine avast with comodo firewall (no defense+), and no more. Pleased to take your advice
P/S: Thanks very much for your help

I just would like to add that 8MB is not *that* much. I mean, it could vary starting from about 1.5MB too and up, so even a clean up and re-installation of avast could leave you with avastsvc.exe using 8MB again.

but it's just 8 MB when I close all windows. When i open firefox or any application, it is 40MB again. When i startup window, it's 30MB. If the computer is idle for about 15 mins, it will be 8MB again

Was it using this much memory before you installed the Comodo firewall?

avast! will use more memory, if you run e.g. Firefox.
That's normal.

Since avastsvc.exe is scanning what you have in traffic, the more you use other processes, the more memory avast will use.

Some users tend to think that avast is using their bandwidth, when in fact avast is simply scanning the same bandwidth being used by other software.

So I would say that whatever memory avastsvc.exe *seems* to be using, in most cases the important thing is how much memory is free to be used by other processes.
