Wow, how can you say this isn't a major problem? BSOD causes the system to suddenly stop working and makings s**t fucked up. Clearly this should be a high priority problem since you guys known about it for a few years. I just experienced this out of nowhere while playing a game. Honestly, after it BSOD, Avast just stops working correctly. Trying to go to Real-Time shields does nothing. It just clicks and doesn't change to that screen. Trying to update causes an Error: The Package is Broken. How about fixing a problem that XXX up my computer more than an actual virus? I read the others reply and its quite the stupid excuse to say
Well, "no effort"... it's just that I don't see a way to completely resolve this (relatively rare) issue without a major rewrite of one of the components, and that won't happen over night...
Right, its rare because few people report them, yet you fail to realize some BSOD flashes for .2 second before the computer restarts and they don't get a chance to see what caused it. Or maybe, some people just don't know how bad a BSOD is and ignore it.
@BarbaBookie: thanks for the dump. Yes, this is known long-term BSOD in aswsp.sys (maybe over several years now), it's inside antirootkit component. To be honest, there's no vlk's effort to fix this bug so I don't believe it'll be fixed some day. I think, this problematic part will be removed in avast7 and it's your only hope... if you get this bsod often, please consider to turn off antirootkit component (uninstalling behavior shield? I'm not exactly sure how to disable it..)
Good s**t, Vlk. Looks like a few years is "overnight"
