Hello,
I am running avast! Internet Security, program version 8.0.1489 on windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1.
At least once a week my system is crashing to blue screen reporting aswTdi.sys file crashed.
Here is a couple of examples from WhoCrashed

crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\070913-30076-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: aswtdi.sys (aswTdi+0x45F5)
Bugcheck code: 0x3B (0xC0000005, 0xFFFFF88002C045F5, 0xFFFFF88006358D80, 0x0)
Error: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: aswtdi.sys (avast! TDI Filter Driver, AVAST Software).

I am only running the native windows firewall and Windows Defender. No other software for virus protection or firewall.
Does anyone have any reasons as to what could be causing this?
Thanks!
