Hi,  I have a problem where XP won't boot normally just gets to you desktop the reboots. It's hangs on aswrvrt.sys when booting in safe mode. this happen after updating to to the latest program version of avast free

Are you able to get into safe mode ?

Download Peazip to the desktop 
Run and install the programme
As it installs this page will show, deselect the AVG ticks
Press decline and it will then install cleanly 
 

 
Download the following files to the desktop .. Right click the links and select save as...then select desktop 
 
Rufus
 
OTLPE_standard
 
Right click OTLPE on your desktop and select  ..Open as archive 
 

 
 
Select OTLPE standard 
 

 
Click Extract, ensure that desktop is selected 
 

 
Insert the USB stick Then run Rufus
 
Select the ISO file on the desktop via the ISO icon.

Press Start Burn


Once the USB has burnt then

• Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to the flash drive.
  
  
  • Reboot your system using the boot USB you just created.
  Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from USB follow the steps here
  
• As the  Programme needs to detect your hardware and load the operating system, I would recommend a nice cup of tea whilst it loads  :)
• Your system should now display a Reatogo desktop.
• Locate the flash drive and run FSRT
• The tool will start to run.

• When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
  
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.

This will totally disable Avast

Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST and press Fix
On completion try a reboot

Thanks for that it took 45 mins to fix then on reboot  it would not start not even in safe mode any more.  I will have to try and find a my a Acronis boot disk and the back up DVD but since I moved finding any think is a pain all I can say avast was very good.  But I shall tell all my friends who use it to watch out as it my make them crash to !!!!!!! some running windows 7.
