Title: BSOD comes back [Solved]
Post by: danny96 on March 21, 2011, 11:59:02 AM
Yesterday installed Super RC version Avast! 6.0.1035 (from scratch - uninstalled,reboot,installed new). Reboot and Mr. BSOD when starting system is again there. Uninstalled Avast! 6 in safe mode - All is OK. Previous version was without problems. I don't want Avast! in my computer again with these problems because It will destroy my computer. Tell me what i have to do  >:(

I have Win7 64bit

It's not because of microsoft...
It's because of avast! 6.0.1035 and Comodo Firewall (compatibility issue). I got 2x bluescreens with installed avast! 6.0.1035. Uninstalled avast! and all is OK. Did 2 times!

So what I should install for antivirus now? Old version avast! 6 or uninstall comodo and try to install new version?

1. I though that you don't know that I already sent them minidump. So I told you that already did about 4 hours ago...
2. Do You like your god?
3. On the 3x times - what antivirus should I install now?

Avast 5.1.xxx from FileHippo doesn't work for you either? (Didn't read the entire thread.) I still suspect the trouble comes from CIS. What did you install, Free or Pro/AIS? Sandbox/behaviour shield will conflict there w/ CIS.

Avast 6.0.1035 Free, Comodo Firewall + Defense+ with proactive virus defense. Never had BSOD with previous avast! 6.0 Before...
I can still roll back to 6.0.1022 (or how). This was no-problem.

Well, if that works for you, then no need to change your AV, I'd say?  ;)

Defense+ with proactive virus defense. Never had BSOD with avast! Before...

That effectively installs the crappy CIS antivirus, as far as I can tell. Worse yet, it makes it active.

It didn't install any antivirus... Only firewall but I have to setuped It to detect malicious software.
But in 6.0.1035 must be something changed... something that causes whole system crash. Or the new RC version just don't like comodo
Title: Re: BSOD comes back
Post by: danny96 on March 21, 2011, 05:54:00 PM

I've already wrote danny96 email that explains the bug is caused by Comodo IS. So I don't understand next 15+ posts here.

I still add new & new features even between two public builds. In 1035 build I included better win32k.sys & ntdll.dll hooking, however Comodo IS wasn't expected such non-standard hooking variant (in fact, its component guard64.dll corrupted ntdll.dll file which led to wininit.exe crashes). I removed the problematic part, because we won't wait than they'd fix it.

Yeah I will get rid of It and use only Windows Firewall (it's the best firewall out there ;D)
Title: Re: BSOD comes back
Post by: Lisandro on March 21, 2011, 08:53:44 PM
Indeed, I think there are quite better firewalls than Windows one...
Difficult to configure, no outbound protection (by default), etc.

Online Armour (http://www.tallemu.com/free-firewall-protection-software.html) and Outpost Firewall Free (http://www.filehippo.com/download_outpost_firewall/) are very good options :)

Is outpost firewall better than comodo ? I already uninstalled stupid comodo and downloaded outpost.

EDIT: Runned outpost firewall and I got this message: "This program can be only installed on versions of Windows designed for the following processor architectures:
x86"

pk told you what went on with the crash. several times.
Tech recommended different firewall solutions. Try each one and see what suits your needs.

In fact, one of my favorite features of Outpost products is during installation they automatically detect if you have security software installed and automatically run themselves in "compatibility mode" disabling the features that may conflict.For example, if you have Avira installed Outpost Security Suite Free will detect that and automatically disable its live protection anti-virus and anti-spyware components. This sort of eagerness to work with other security software to avoid conflict on a user's computer shows a high level of wisdom on part of the Agnitum team and shows they prefer to do what is best in the interest of their customers as opposed to just selling products. I don't know about anyone else but this type of behavior puts a developer at the top of my list.

P.S. No, not you obviously.

Installed...Telled that avast! was detected...clicked ok...next...install...Then a few minutes to install...Outpost crashed...Then telled that setup was completed and that i have to restart my computer...clicked OK...after restart program again crashed and internet was disabled. Uninstalled outpost firewall and internet working now. What firewall should try now  ;D
Title: Re: BSOD comes back
Post by: doktornotor on March 22, 2011, 09:28:41 PM
Well, obviously if install crashed you can't expecting a working firewall after reboot. Would make sense to disable avast! during the install I'd say.

Firewall is installing right now but the searching for protected apps taking forever.
