I'm only allowed 4 attachments per post so I ll post them in 2 posts.

There were 2 unknown devices and when I tried to update them it said unable to do so but it showed the name - Avast NDIS Filter

DraKuL, thanks.
I'll post some tips shortly. It's definitely a problem with setup (installation).
Could you please post one more thing - the screenshot of the properties you get when going into network adapters window inside "Network and Sharing center".

Hi Lukas,

Avast Level2 support sent an email and asked me to do the following -


1. uninstall avast8 - you should use our removal utility
( <http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility> )

2. restart and delete manually both avast folders. One in Program Files and one in Program Data.
Than check if in the adapter properties in control panels -> network adapter settings is not present "avast firewall NDIS filter miniport". If yes, remove it manually please.

3. Turn off Windows firewall

4. then clear all off-line content and cookies from your web browser and download our latest release
http://www.avast.com/download-software
and install it.
After successful installation could you double click on you license file to register your copy of avast.

5. Turn on Windows firewall



~ I did all that, and on the first attempt, I couldnt reinstall Avast, the setup crashed. Then I had to uninstall + run aswclear again, and reinstalled just now. Still there is no activity on the firewall statistics graph.

I uninstalled the 2 unknown netword adapters which were there in the screenshots and they are not there now. But in the network and sharing center it shows Avast NDIS Filter (above screenshot).

Also I noticed that Avast NDIS Filter just appeared under network adapters in device manager AFTER I uninstalled Avast.

Anyway whats the solution? I tried a proper clean installation + removing all entries from the netword adapters section in device manager.

DraKul I can see you still got problems with AIS,I,m sure you ran aswclear.exe in safe mode  but have you tried Rejzor removal tool for Avast? I always use them when I install new version of AIS,so try Rejzor removal tool and see what will happend with AIS and firewall,don,t forget to run aswclear.exe first in safe and then Rejzor removal tool for Avast,good luck.

Hi JuninhoSlo,

Thanks, but Lukas is troubleshooting it right now, he said that reinstalling might not help and that this has not happened before..

EDIT: I tried it as well, just hoped that it would fix it, but it didnt :(

OK, just wondering it it might have been something that could help others with a similar issue.

Hi David,
in this particular case, NDIS related registry entries were corrupted. I don't know how to fix them :-) but it can be diagnosed from Windows setupapi log.

in C:\Windows\Inf\setupapi.dev.log:

Code: [Select]
CoInstaller 1: failed(0x000005aa)!
Error 1450: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

and also by the value of:
Code: [Select]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NDIS\IfTypes\1\IfUsedNetLuidIndices

(if the value is very long, such as FD FF FF FF FF FF .... FF FF FF FF ) you got a problem.

With DraKuL we have been able to solve it by installing aswndisflt.sys (driver used on Windows 8 only), but this might not be a viable solution for everyone with this error.
L.
