Title: AvBugReport.exe Will NOT DIE!
Post by: REDACTED on April 12, 2015, 09:18:02 AM
AvBugReport.exe is eating ALL of my network resources and lagging the hell out of my network.
No matter what i do it wont die.
Disabled avast, tired taskkill /im AvBugReport.exe /f access denied even under admin cmd

I see no options in the avast interface to disable it.

Seriously how do i get this thing to die.

do repair of avast via add/remove? After repair restart your computer manually. After that  If it still doesn't solve it, do a clean install of avast.

1) Uninstall avast and follow the instruction
2) Download and run Avast uninstall utility and let this tool run your computer in safe mode automatically. Follow the instructions.
3) Install a fresh clean install of avast. Once it has done a start up scan. Restart your computer manually.
4) Register your copy of avast.

See if this helps!

Repair worked.

Still is really annoying that i couldn't just kill it. From what iv read of it its a crash dump uploader.
Not even sure why it needs to be on.
Sorry if i was annoying before, it had me stressed, was tethered to my phone and it ate ~half of my months worth of bandwidth in minutes.

After repair hope you restarted your computer. I had to edit my message. No need for you to be annoying before. Your welcome
