please.. anyone... this is my third attempt here. i've been without a computer for 4 weeks.

i hate to inform you but that file is a malicous file.

remove it

Yeah, i know it's old, but there's not a lot of information on this and this link comes up near the top of google search for ashwebsv.exe. Also, this still happens even with the newest version of HJT. I just want to make sure that nobody follows the advice of this complete idiot.

ashwebsv.exe is AVAST ANTI-VIRUS'S WEBSCANNER!!! YOU NEED IT IF YOU HAVE AVAST ANTIVIRUS!!! Furthermore, the "file missing" is a BUG in hijackthis. you will find that if you search your drive, it is likely not missing unless you uninstalled avast wrong or something. If you find the file, it's not missing, is it? If you run avast, you need it. Ignore hijack this and this idiot above. DO NOT REMOVE IT YOU WILL HAVE NO AVAST WEBSCANNER!!!

Your problem is more than likely caused by the fact that you have THREE anti-virus programs running on the computer...at least a portions of Ewido Security Suite, and also Norton and Avast. The absolute rule is ONE anti-virus program on a computer. Pick ONE and totally UNINSTALL the others. Your choice. But be sure to UNINSTALL via Add/Remove, DON'T under any circumstances just delete them. If that Avast file shows as missing then it probably means that you attempted to uninstall but did not. You must do it the correct way otherwise portions of programs remain and cause problems.

Once you have done the uninstalls then REBOOT the computer. Delete the OLD version of HiJackThis that you have and download the newest version from HERE Be sure to install it to a folder of it's own. To do this create a new folder by right clicking on the desktop and choose New Folder. Then Rename the Folder HJT.
Download the new version of HJT to this folder and then run a new full system scan. Post back here with that new log.
You need to run a new scan with the newest version of HJT because there IS malware showing on the present log.

The OP is long gone I suspect. Was posted back in 06

Lordy! Didn't even look at the original date!

Nice one, Judy!
