Title: File: \windows\system32\drivers\aswVmm.sys corrupt
Post by: killadilla on September 24, 2013, 07:41:06 PM
Dear all,


Yesterday i closed my laptop like i always do.

But this morning when i tried to start it up, it went straight to startup repair. After doing that for more then 15 times ive had enough.

i have alot of important documents and files that i wish to keep.


This is the message i get from diagnostics and repair details:
File: \Windows\System32\Drivers\aswVmm.sys
Status: 0xc000000d


Please help me...
i cant start up in safe mode
I cant go back to an earlier know configuration
and i do not have a image file of my system

im running Windows Professional 7 32 Bit
and i was running a free version of AVAST.

thanks in advance.

The thing to be aware of is that fix removes the service keys for Avast and as the file was corrupt I would recommend a clean install

Lets reinstall Avast

Download Uninstall Utility (http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility) to your Desktop.
Download the correct version of Avast 
Avast Free (http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe)
Avast Pro (http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_pro_antivirus_setup.exe)
Avast Internet Security (http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe)
Avast Premier (http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_premier_antivirus_setup.exe)
Disconnect from the net
Uninstall Avast via control panel
