I am sorry about the unrelated dumb. It was the latest intel driver crashing.

I patched the driver from here http://public.avast.com/~rypacek/patches/  and I unzipped it to \Windows\System32

About the dates. I just checked it :

aswnet.sys - Created November 4, Modified October 29, Accessed November 4

Was disabling the self protection module necessary? Dang it! I think I might not have done that. Sorry but somehow I never had crashes, just one.

I had this crash while I was testing some vpns namely Cyberghost and Hotspot Shield and playing some videos in the background in Firefox

You definitely uploaded crashes with an old driver. Still wondering if this might be an avast fault (such as reverting your patch back - though it shouldn't be doing that) or you somehow failed to apply it correctly.

I will try it again and let you know if there is any crash.

We are preparing some automated update tool, that should help fixing this problem, until a full program update is released.

Had .1474 program version since installing clean W8-64 Pro on Oct. 26 and these BSOD's, mostly when logging back in after a screen lock or return from hibernation. Certainly networking seemed unstable, needing to frequently disconnect the WIFI and reconnect to get the web going again, loosing shared resources on the WLAN. After applying the patch following the instructions, system stable and dozen locks, log-in, hibernates and things remain running. The Intertubes operate spiffy again.

Have been crashing after I installed windows 8 with avast, after the help from here. It did not crash for 24 hours already. I'll see if it crashes again, I'll post here. Thanks !

After the PTF having held the PC stable since application, sadly, after the [Massive] patch Tuesday application, nearly 200MB greater than for my W7 system [prior all uptodate], the exact same BSOD screen appeared naming aswnet.sys on W8-64 Pro. Network instability has returned.

What to do?

A) Reapply the patch [why would that work if Avast is the issuer of the aswnet.sys file?]
B) Wait for Avast to issue a new .14xx release?

Patiently waiting, as the system just does LAN file serving and distributed volunteer computing [www.wcgrid.org]

No problems so far and the dates on the file shows that the patch is applied correctly as well :)
