Avast 8 Free causing event log errors

Avast Software will not fix this in Avast 8. Source:

Hi Broken Hope, you are right, this will not be solved as it brings no real problems. TDI drivers are completely unsupported by Windows 8 operating system, and we are going to remove aswtdi from avast in avast9.

edit: will be removed on Windows8 installations. Hence my question: has anyone seen this log entry on any other OS than Windows8? If so, we might start wanting to solve it.

EDIT: That log entry (posted by tw33k) might not related to aswTdi.sys, but however… log entry about aswTdi.sys is in OP’s post.

I had this issue with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and Avast 8 Free.
You need to go to safe mode and issue a command to delete the aswtdi service. If you don’t go to safe mode avast will prevent you to delete the service.

Start cmd as an administrator. Issue the following command:

sc delete aswtdi

Enjoy.

I have tested it with Windows 7 32 bit, I don’t know if it will work with Windows 8.
