avserve.exe?

Hello,

Just recently, my relatively new XP Pro computer is slowing down a lot. I
checked the TaskManager and found that two tasks are causing CPU utilization
to run at 100%:

avserve.exe
avserve2.exe

they both run at around 48% each. What are they and what are they doing? If
I terminate the tasks, the system returns back to normal.

HELP!
 
Apparently, your PC has suffered a major security breech and is now
infected with Malware (i.e. "a viral worm") because:

1. The latest Windows XP Critical Updates have apparently not been installed......
2. The PC's firewall apparently has not been properly enabled.....
3. Out-of-date or no AntiVirus program has been installed......

If you have Sasser, follow these directions to remove it from your computer:

Special note if you use AOL:

America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.

Visit the following web site for instructions on downloading
a FREE firewall program for your computer.
