nDis.sys BSOD with Windows 8 Pro x64 and newest avast! Free

[Chris92]

Hello there,
I'm one of those who experience BSODs.
It was a clean install of Windows 8 on my side and I downloaded avast! from the official avast! website.
My specs if needed: http://www.sysprofile.de/id151928

I'm tired of those BSODs - I'm a computer science student at university and it's really annoying if you lose all your progress on what you coded because of a random BSOD every day at least once...
Since I uninstalled avast! yesterday I had no BSODs - running on Windows Defender for the time being until a fix is out ...

Yes, the issue is a result of an incompatibility with an updated ndis.sys as found in update KB2756872. This is what I found out, unfortunately they couldn't track down the issue! I also have had the issue in the last two days with aswnet.sys.

Uninstalling KB2756872 should resolve this issue. However, since this update is a major one (it's considered a mini service pack by some), it's not really practical to do so.

Same problem. Nothing works except complete uninstall. Then reinstall older free version, do not add license or it will update and screw it up again.
