Avast causing blue screens in Windows 7
« on: July 26, 2017, 12:01:00 AM »
   We have ahad a recent case of several hundred workstations running Windows 7 start to blue screen on boot. Uninstalling Avast in safemode and then re-installing fixes the issue. Has anyone seen anything like this or have a clue what the cause might be? Thanks!

From AVAST Software: "Our investigation has pointed to a problem with an older EPS version, 8.0.1603. So far we are unable to replicate the problem on the latest 8.0.1609.

Please check which version customers are running, and update if possible. The root cause is still unknown, but we are suspecting the MS patches on Tuesday, still under investigation
