I have recently acquired a new laptop, HP Pavilion g6-2244sa, running Windows 8, and this sits on a home network with my existing Desktop. I have Avast! Internet Security on both machines, but am encountering a repeated (almost daily) problem in that my laptop cannot use the WiFi.
When I look in Device Manager I find repeated "avast! Firewall NDIS Filter Miniport # warnings - upto number 79 at the moment.
If I uninstall Avast! then reinstall it I can enable the wifi, but this lasts only for a short while, then the process repeats.
I have tried disabling self defense and loading avast services after but no joy - the problem still occurs.
Does anyone have a solution to this yet?
If this continues I will have to move from avast to a different product, which is a shame as I generally like the product.
