I agree with you
However I uploaded a memdump on Aug 19th
I also uninstalled Avast AV pro (still almost a year to go)

I'll post more details on my OP

It looks like this thread is dead now, but I wanted to follow-up to say that my BSODs went away completely when I uninstalled Avast! and started using a different anti-virus.  It's been six weeks now since I've switched and the BSODs are gone.  I realize some problems are difficult to solve, and I hold no grudge against Avast!  I believe it to be a fine product, and this isn't a problem that everyone has.  But if you are reading this and you do have this problem, you might consider switching anti-virus programs to see if it goes away. Maybe a fix will come in the future.

Well those reading this on this date with this problem will have the advantage of being able to try the latest beta 6.0.1270, which has fixed for the aswSp.sys bsod. See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=83583.0 - Stability improvements in aswSP.sys.

So for those that did provide the dump files they contributed to getting a fix and didn't just jump ship.

If my BSODs were identified & a fix included in this release, beta or otherwise I'd be back like a shot :'(

Then you know what to do, try it. How would you ever know if it did or not without trying it, I can't try it for you.

That is a very, very, odd thing to say

Avast has the, perhaps, only bug free software in the world ;D

On the other hand, I'm uncomfortable without Avast.

Yep, I know and I was just joking. ;)
Nevertheless, you should try the beta, as suggested by Dave...!!

I will, probably when it is released.

It's ok to say just try it and almost everyone says this, but it's a pain in the neck if you end up with data corruption due to BSOD's
Yes! I do have a network back up drive for data

1. I will, probably when it is released.

2. It's ok to say just try it and almost everyone says this, but it's a pain in the neck if you end up with data corruption due to BSOD's

1. Do as you like.
2. Well, till now there were no reports of BSODs.

It would be better to forward your dumps to the avast ftp so that they can solve the problem and you will be able to keep using avast, just saying that you changed av's to fix your problem helps no one any everyone should be willing to help avast improve where they can.

Actually, it should help a lot of people.  A few people have been asked to submit their dumps for this aswsp.sys BSOD problem in this forum, but so far no solution has been posted by the techs.  The threads all seem to dead-end like this one.  I don't really feel like going to the trouble of uploading dumps when no one else has been helped.  If you read the whole thread, you'll see that the originator has noticed the same thing, and he hasn't been helped yet either. It's not a criticism, but a fair analysis of the situation.  I will check back from time-to-time to see if the problem has been worked out.
