Avast! IS stop error!
« on: November 16, 2013, 12:36:54 PM »
See attached .jpg for exact error.  Was on the 'net here at the forums when avast! stopped running and displayed the error box noted below.

Disconnected the modem and then clicked OK to terminate the program.

Avast! sys tray icon was frozen in mid-scan of a file, then it resumed scanning that file after OK was clicked.  Checked program status and "Everything is good" was noted as usual.  Seems it restarted immediately after doing the OK.  Checked Reliability Monitor and no crash caught by Windows was found. 

System seems unaffected by this error.  (Win 7)

Anyone know or have an idea or clue as to what this is?

UPDATE:

Discovered that the avast! Firewall NDIS Filter Miniport drivers seem to be not working.

See attached below:

Already have done a repair and clean install, no change in status.  Above error noted may have been the result of the drivers not working?  Firewall is working in Statistics.

Hi there.

Clean install of AIS to .2007 from 8.0.1497 AIS and then gui update to .2008. 

This current volume is a restore to 11/15/2013 disk image as I did not know that the NDIS drivers were not in the current version of .2008.  I did remove the NDIS drivers via Device Manager on today's volume, only to find that the firewall then was showing no activity in Statistics, hence the disk restore. 

So that's where we are now.

You can remove. New driver is in local area connection properties.
Avast firewall driver.

@ essexboy,

No effect except first load of FF gave a reset browser error.  Reload got me here.

@ Arizona,

Thanks.

Yep, seems so.

As always, thank you for your help.  Best there is and maybe ever was.   ;D

Coming from here
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=140367.0

I just had the same breakpoint issue twice when leaving statistics open long term.

I just uninstalled those two avast! NDIS things.

Surprised that these NDIS Filter drivers were not removed using aswclear.exe when running Win 7 here.  Made a point of doing a clean install before moving up a build number from 8.0 to 9.0 just to hopefully prevent such an issue.

But, having said that, this has not really been an issue since the initial post here.  Ultimately, this could resolve out as a memory leak issue with Statistics window as that could cause a breakpoint where it just stops running properly.  We'll just have to wait to see if that is the case.  Of note, this breakpoint did not affect proper operation of avast! as a whole, as far as I could determine.  Nothing was amiss in any Administrative Tools logs that I could find for either avast! or the Statistics window.

[EDIT:]  Removed erroneous statement.

NDIS Minifilter issue will be fixed in next release. It does no harm, it's just remnant of the old installation.
