Hi,
I'm using Avast free version 9.0.2008 on a Dell D620 with XP Professional.
My laptop keeps crashing and coming up with different errors; mainly 0xC4, 0x8E, and most recently a Custom Error.

Two of the 0xC4 errors said:
your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini120513-02.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: aswsp.sys (aswSP+0xBC59)
Bugcheck code: 0xC4 (0x60, 0x0, 0xA0, 0x1)
Error: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\aswsp.sys
product: avast! Antivirus
company: AVAST Software
description: avast! self protection module
Bug check description: This is the general bug check code for fatal errors found by Driver Verifier.
The driver is unloading without first freeing its pool allocations. A bug check with this parameter occurs only when the Pool Tracking option of Driver Verifier is active. This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: aswsp.sys (avast! self protection module, AVAST Software).

Can anyone help me with this please?
Thank you
