Question QUESTION: Dear Sir,
I have found in the last few days the following process
going: yiaasgi.exe with the corrispondent files yiaasgi.dat yiaasgi_nav.dat yiaasgi_navps.dat, and I have found no data
about what they are, and could not find them in the net at
all. What could they be?
Thank you very much in advance.
ANSWER: Like you I searched everywhere I knew on the net, even f-secure.com (the largest database of virus information in the world) and could not find anything about yiaasgi. Here is the link to the f-secure site: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/_new.shtml
Are you having any problems with your PC or did you just happen upon the files while looking through your system?

QUESTION: I was not having any particular trouble but the firewall (an
Ashampoo trial) advised me that this program was going to
connect and asked my permission, that I refused, thinking it
was a spyware or something like that... Now I am going to
put it into a zipped file and cancel the original one, and
I'll see if anything happens. Maybe it's a "new entry" not
yet included in the various lists, it does not look like a
system file. Also, it is included in list of programs that
are started at the computer start.

Answer I have never used Ashampoo Firewall so I don't know exactly how it works. The yaasgi files may have something to do with the firewall? You could disable it in the start menu and end any processes with that name in task manager and see what no longer works.
I believe it is a legit program. Otherwise it would be easier to find on the internet.
Let me know if you find out anything else.
