May I ask, when did the update that caused this begin as it was fine yesterday evening?

@nightshade:
It was caused by a virus definition update, which was released this morning.

For those of you with Avast Business - go into your web panel → Network → Settings → Go to the Template → Turn off components
This has resolved it across the board for me. I was on fire, the fire is put out for now. I plan to re-enable the shields after I confirm the update is applied.

I just wanted to confirm we are seeing this issue on 64-bit Windows 7 machines as well. I do not believe this to be exclusive to 32-bit platforms.

+1 I am as well. I am not seeing this on any Windows 10 workstations.
Running Win 7 Pro SP1, this machine was just powered up about 50 minutes ago. No BSOD yet. And, VPS 170320-01 has been released just now.
Are you saying you’ve updated to the latest definition and you’re still receiving the BSOD?

Nope, he says the opposite.

Virus definition version 170320-1 has not been released yet.
5pm is quoted, which timezone would this be referring to?
It’s on my machine, with 4 definitions in it’s folder. How is this explained, if it wasn’t released?
I see, that’s only the stream. Sorry.
Should be officially released then in just over 30 mins.

I’ve uninstalled avast and installed avg and I’m still getting the crashes :-\
They both use the same VPS.
