Basically AEstSrv.exe is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32 or sometimes in a subfolder of C:\Windows\System32. The file size on Windows XP is 73,728 bytes and this program is not visible. AEstSrv.exe is not a Windows system file. File AEstSrv.exe is a Microsoft signed file. It has the capability of spreading virus and Trojan into your system.

I have also find out some information on AESTSRV.EXE and came to know that it has been seen to perform the behaviors like the Process is packed and/or encrypted using a software packing process, found on infected systems and resists interrogation by security products, uses low level functions to hide itself from the user and from system/security processes
