Avast and Windows 8 compatibitly issues BSOD error and itss Fix !

Many people are reporting that they have compatibility issues and BSOD errors with Avast 7.0 and Windows 8 X64. After spending a lot of time in forums and other sites this is what I got to know: If you are Avast fan then surely take time to read this post.

Firstly: BSOD(Black Screen of Death) is the issue, and its not a good sign.

People using Windows 8 X64 bit are reporting this problem and the same goes to Windows XP X64 bit.

Controversies might be Avast 7.0 is a 32 bit Application and the reason is that it get installed in C:/Program files rather that C:Program Files (x86).

Are you using a Pro Version ? If yes, let me tell you than problems are faced more in free versions. BSOD errors are caused because of memory dumping and whenever it happens, it gets stored in C:/windows/Minidump

However, you can still get some technical help from Avast, click here 

ASWNET.sys is the error that pops out as a error message due to malfunction of Avast.

Maybe Avast system Drivers are not working in Harmony with Windows 8 X64 bit and because of this BSOD errors are observed. To minimize such errors : 

1. Try Disabling the Network Shield : 

Go to Avast User Interface > Real Time Shields > Network Shield > on right side click on  Stop and mark as " Stop for Permanently ". 

This method is suggested in all forums, which helped some people. 

2. Use this method if above failed to work, try installing a patch : Download the Patch here.
