Comodo Firewall
While running Comodo I noticed that Skype, of which I have an account, was pulling 60% from my computer. Even though I was not logged on or talking to anyone. Can anyone tell me why this is and what it is doing?
Another question I have, possibly for Ash. Have you anything to do with Avast or Comodo. The reason I ask this is that "ashWebSv.exe" is pulling 6% and the name keeps coming up on Comodo. Just seems odd, especially as they were both recommended on this site.

Re: Comodo Firewall
Skype is a peer to peer app - it will still use bandwidth even while it's minimised, and alougth the amount used is quite small, if it is the only app using any bandwidth it will show a high percentage.
ashWebSv.exe is Avast's web monitoring program - if you are downloading a file that contains a virus, this should hopefully detect it before it is written to your hard drive.

Re: Comodo Firewall
Thank you for that Ash. But you seem to have sidestepped the original question. Is "ashWebSv.exe" anything to do with you. Just curious thats all.

Re: Comodo Firewall
No, not at all. It's just a file that's part of Avast.
