Anyone knows what this is related to?

 

ehttpsrv is the module that is launched to pull down new definition files. If yours is crashing all over the place, I would recommend doing a full clean reinstall right off the bat and seeing if that makes a difference.

 

I had an issue with EhttpSrv.exe using 100% of the cpu on my win2008 box. I would reboot and it would go away until virus definitions were updated and it would start again.

I finally disabled providing updates via internal HTTP server (ehttpsrv.exe) and installed IIS as the update mirror server (instructions found here: http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2270&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1254165275100) and things are much improved.

 

I have to restart my eHTTPSrv.exe every hour or updates will fail, and the process will go up to 99% CPU usage..
