At first glance it would appear that either avast tried to execute an instruction that did not exist on those old CPU's
or there was some other error and the program took a wild branch and tried to execute garbage.

either way, I'm surprised we haven't got a answer from the avast team by now.

If you read the error message of 'aswOfferTool.exe': The exception "unknown software exception" occurred in THIS tool at (address)!!!
As 'address' changed only in the digits 4 to 6, it seems to me, that we have a hiking (wandering) bug within a big system (avast).

@ HDW38,

You've already checked your system memory using something like this?  http://www.memtest.org/

I'd check memory by running program overnight and check it in the morning to see if any memory errors come up.  If they do, you can't miss them.  They will be posted in red colour.

Yes, of course. There are several possibilities for German systems. At home I have another machine running W7 ult SP 1 (with 1 GB RAM only) and 'avast free 10.2.2218' without any issue!

mchain - ran memtest as suggested, but no errors as I expected.

I think I'm going to give up with this system and remove Avast, it obviously doesn't like something and I'll assume the support team have no ideas or they would have made a suggestion. I'm kinda disappointed that they couldn't even reply after requesting information, but I guess that running their software on such a dated system isn't very important to them.

Thanks for everyone's advice and interest, I hope you have more luck solving this error than I did.

Was worth a try.  At least your memory hardware was found good.

Alright, can you create process dump of aswOfferTool? It's possible to do it in the Task Manager righ-clicking the process.

Software Updater reminded me to update Thunderbird. After having clicked on SU, it performed about a dozen of this issue!!! The update was ok.
