Problem with aswrvrt.sys (Won't boot)

[essexboy]

There is no malware present, the reported dll is part of a BHO and does not affect the boot. 

Is the BIOS set up for the correct Hard drive type ?
Does system restore work

[Nikopol75]

Yes I would think so.
I've changed parameters a few time without success.
It's funny it is booting on ubuntu though

I just tried restoration of the system
System replied :
an unexpected error occured
the file cannot be found (0x80070002)

That error code points to a windows update mess up I am afraid and all the options suggested by MS will not work as you are unable to achieve safe mode

[Nikopol75]

Windows was updated a few days before it started (so to say..
What would you suggest ? Is there anyway to fix it without reinstalling windows 7 ?
Thanks

[Nikopol75]

What is strange though is I re-installed the older HDD (I changed it begining of july to install a larger HDD) and this "old" system behaved like the new one.
It was not updated. So I wonder wether it comes from a windows update ..?

[essexboy]

In that case I am a tad baffled.  Is Linux on the same drive ?

Hi, essexboy, can you help me create fixlist.txt?
I  have stuck with avast.
I attached frst.txt
Thanks

[Nikopol75]

Yes Linux is on the same HDD..

[essexboy]

@szu605 there is no guarantee that this will fix your problem

Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST as before and press fix
Now try a normal boot

Hello essexboy

Thanks for all your help here.
I am experiencing a problem booting. I can boot to safemode no problem.

Here is the FRST log.

[essexboy]

Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST as before and press fix
Once done try a normal boot

[shaqueefa]

Thankyou

One problem though, FRST responds with a message box when I click FIX.

'Error:  Looks you dont know what to do. Program will close to prevent damage....'

Something to that affect.

[essexboy]

Hmmm

Try this fixlist, I have whittled it down a bit

 

[shaqueefa]

It ran the fix that time.

I am currently stuck on a black screen with an unusable cursor. I had control of the cursor on the welcome screen to choose which user to login with. Then, after logging in I get the black screen. Cursor still worked for a few seconds then ceased to move.

I will reboot and post FIXLOG

I found this forum because it appeared that the last loaded file in my bootlog was aswrvrt.sys. Since, I have downloaded and used the avast uninstall utility.
