Ashserv is a core component of the Avast! antiviru program. It unfortunately has a flaw which results in 100% CPU utilization at seemingly random points. It is not necessary to remove it, simply ending the process will suffice. An annoyance at worst

I know that Aedan Antivirus doesn't have that file inside, furthermore ashServ.exe is a component of avast as well as Nod32. However Nod32 does not own the rights to the intellectual property thus causes a concern. I have installed all 3 anti virus systems and I have only found a relevant similarity in avast with Nod32 as a system file for registering the services of each engine in avast and not at all have found the file ashServ.exe labeled in either or.

It looks like someone resource hacked another anti virus software to make it seem that another anti virus obtained Alwil's intellectual property there for stating the fact that any one of the anti virus applications had that file incorporated with it besides Alwil seems too far fetched and the file posted as a prank.

Gehört zum Avast Antivirus Programm, kann aber auch leicht beim Starten nicht richtig in die Gänge kommen und das Sytstem mit durschnittlich 70% CPU Belastung stark belasten ohne das dieser Wert sich wieder auf normall einpegelt. Kann aber über Taskmanager in solchen Fällen einfach beendet werden "Prozeß beenden"
