all Win7 BSOD

system · 2017-03-20T11:26:46.000Z

thankfully it is not completely bolloxed up,
there is still time for the clients to get an update before they BSOD.

if it had been immediate, then the potential for non recovery would be massive.
no computer to DL an update…

Same issue for us this morning, BSOD every few minutes until Avast is uninstalled or Shields turned off.
It’s not doing it to all clients (yet) but there seems to be no pattern to the ones which have the error.

Bug reported to Avast but no response yet.

Hi, which version of the client are you using?

We are currently investigating the root cause. The fix will be delivered ASAP. Will keep you posted.

I performed clean install of version 17.2.2517 (Build 17.2.3419.64) I restarted the 2 bench computers 6 times.

There was no BSOD screen on the computers.

Could the cause be in the upgraded from version 12.3.2515?

Please any fix for this issue?

Disable FileSystem shield is a temporary workaround. Fix will be delivered by the next Virus Definition Update.

Having the same issue at our school. All our 32-bit machines are crashing and/or freezing. Is Avast actually working on this, or am I going to have to uninstall this from every computer?

I have tried the clean install on a couple computers here and that seems to be working so far.

system · 2017-03-20T14:07:57.000Z

I am only seeing this on 32 bit machines.

Is anyone having this same issue with 64 bit machines?

The clean reinstall is not working now, bsod is starting to happen again on the clean reinstall machines we tested.
