After an recent update late last month My Avast Internet Security Crashes my NIC Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller and it refuses to get DNS from my router unitl i reboot.(takes up to 10 minutes to shutdown before restarting) normally seconds
This randomly happens while I'm browsing.
The network Diag Reports the Root cause of my internet loss as:
"The DNS server isn’t responding
Your computer is trying to use a DNS server that is incorrect or doesn’t exist. "
Immediately Preceding this happening in the event logs each time is the event:
"Process C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\AvastSvc.exe (process ID:2404) reset policy scheme from {381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e} to {381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e}"
From the UserModePowerService
Following that is a DNS Event for various domains "Name resolution for the name skydrive.wns.windows.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."
I have had to uninstall avast to be able to use the internet for more than a few minutes
