I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
In Device Manager I see Avast firewall NDIS miniport on Windows 8 with a yellow mark.
I removed the inf-files containing “aswNdis” and reinstalled Avast Internet Security.
The problem now is that when I try to update the driver from Device Manager, I get a message that Windows found the driver software, but encountered an error. Access denied.
What do I do about that.
There is another device with the yellow mark. PCI simple communications controller.
Could that be the cause of the NDIS miniport problem or vice versa?.
Not sure if this will help.

Thanks schmidthouse.
I tried turning self-defense off and restarting 3 times.
Problem gone and stayed away after turning on self-defense.
Thanks for the advice.
You are welcome.
