Reappearing BSODs with AVAST and AVG
« on: July 16, 2018, 12:42:22 PM »
Situation: Notebook with 2GB RAM and Windows Vista 32bit

First installed AVAST! until following BSODs appeared (more than once):

aswArPot.sys
page fault in non paged area
0x00000050 (0x823A8338,0x00000000,0x8C9C49FA,0x00000000)

Then AVAST was deinstalled an replaced by AVG

The result is the same BSOD ...

avgArPot.sys
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
0x00000050 (0xBD0210CF,0x00000000,0x8D168A45,0x00000002)

Configuration of AVAST and AVG is the same; so there must not be big differences between them (besides the name and design)

What's the problem with them?

Does this also work with AVG as now AVG is installed (AVAST was deinstalled)?

Or do I have to deinstall AVG and reinstall AVAST?

As workaround try to disable anti-rootkit monitoring via Settings -> Troubleshooting.

@gmer

I had the same problem with Avast (20.3.2405 build 20.3.5200.561) and aswArPot.sys causing BSODs.
I disabled the RootKit checker in Avast and all seemed to return to normal.
I am just worried that now I have left myself open to attack.
What security options can you suggest?
I also have ZoneAlarm Free Firewall (version: 15.6.121.18102) installed and wondered if this had a rootkit checker too, hence causing the clash. If so, I guess I don't need to do anything.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
